Trump names housing finance chief as intelligence director

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday named Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte, a close ally who also leads the refinancing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as his acting director of national intelligence.

"William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets," said Trump in a post on his Truth Social platform, adding that Pulte would continue to serve in his housing-related roles.
