YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday named housing official Bill Pulte, who has played a leading role in stoking the president’s retribution campaign, as acting director of national intelligence.
From his office at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Pulte played an extraordinary role in pushing the Justice Department to pursue some of its most eye-popping cases against the president’s personal foes.
It comes after Tulsi Gabbard announced at the end of May that she’d be stepping down as director of national intelligence.
CNN senior White House reporter Kevin Liptak has details about Pulte’s background.
