Washington, United States – President Donald Trump has appointed Bill Pulte, the current director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and a prominent Republican donor, to serve as acting director of national intelligence following Tulsi Gabbard’s departure from the intelligence leadership role. Pulte, an heir to a home construction fortune and a close political ally of the president, has no prior background in the intelligence community, a fact that has drawn immediate attention from lawmakers and policy experts. His move from overseeing federal housing finance to leading the nation’s spy agencies places a key political appointee at the center of the administration’s national security structure. Washington, United States – The appointment has created uncertainty around the future of a critical federal surveillance program whose legal authority is nearing expiration, with intelligence officials and members of Congress warning that the leadership transition could delay or complicate efforts to secure its renewal. Legislative leaders in both chambers are preparing to seek detailed briefings on how Pulte intends to approach the outstanding surveillance legislation and manage the broader intelligence portfolio. Critics emphasize his lack of traditional intelligence experience, arguing that the role typically requires specialized knowledge of national security protocols and complex agency management, while the administration has not provided a timetable for naming a permanent nominee for the director of national intelligence post.
