Pulte, was elevated to the role after intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard stepped down, citing her husband\u2019s cancer diagnosis. His surprise appointment bypassed Gabbard\u2019s deputy, Aaron Lukas, and drew criticism from both intelligence officials and some Republicans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>His nomination also complicated GOP efforts to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, with lawmakers expressing concern about placing sweeping surveillance powers in the hands of someone without traditional intelligence experience.<\/p>\n<p>Among the skeptics was Sen. Kevin Cramer, an early Trump ally, who called the appointment \u201ca funny pick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a funny pick, to say the least. It seems like a funny pick. It\u2019s interim for now, I guess\u2014we\u2019ll see. But I think it\u2019s an odd pick,\u201d the North Dakota Republican said in early June.<\/p>\n<p>Pulte\u2019s time in the role now appears to be nearing an end after the Senate confirmed Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, as director of national intelligence on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Announcing the appointment on Truth Social, Trump praised Clayton, writing: \u201cJay is outstanding in every way, and will do a spectacular job as Director!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But according to a White House official quoted by Playbook, Pulte is trying to persuade Trump to postpone the transition.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4527\">MAGA Melts Down at RINO Republicans Over Trump Sabotage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pulte, who has served as the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since 2025, is asking Trump \u201cto delay Clayton\u2019s swearing-in, or at least trying to stay in the job longer,\u201d a White House official told Playbook.<\/p>\n<p>The official said Pulte is arguing that he needs more time to complete unfinished work, telling the president: \u201cHe\u2019s doing things nobody else will do, and that\u2019s why he needs to stay in the job longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The effort has reportedly found little support inside the administration. The same official said colleagues \u201cdefinitely do not want\u201d Pulte to remain at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, adding: \u201cThat\u2019s the deal that we made with the Hill. We want to honor that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even so, multiple people close to the White House told Playbook that Trump and Pulte remain close.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president really loves him,\u201d one official said, raising the possibility that Pulte could land another Cabinet-level role in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Pulte is expected to continue leading the Federal Housing Finance Agency, where he has sparked controversy by pursuing mortgage fraud allegations against several prominent Trump critics, including New York state Attorney General Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff, and Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He also was reportedly the first person to show Trump an AI-generated image portraying the president as Jesus Christ, which Trump later shared publicly.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4525\">Epstein Victims Reveal Trump Goon\u2019s Vile Insult<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s acting director of national intelligence is reportedly lobbying the president to let him stay in the job\u2014even after the Senate confirmed his replacement.
