Pulte. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>His selection caught many observers off guard, both because Pulte lacks a traditional intelligence background and because Trump had previously indicated that Aaron Lukas, Gabbard\u2019s deputy, would temporarily take over the role.<\/p>\n<p>But Lukas\u2019 potential elevation had drawn criticism from some prominent MAGA figures. Among them was Trump ally Laura Loomer, who argued that Lukas was part of what she called the \u201ccareer, Deep State CIA\u201d establishment.<\/p>\n<p>In a CNBC interview Wednesday morning, Sen. Kevin Cramer, who was one of the earliest lawmakers to endorse Trump in 2016, called Pulte a \u201cfunny pick\u201d for director of national intelligence.<\/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. <\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cBut remember, he\u2019s replacing Tulsi Gabbard, who was a Democrat not very long ago. And she and I were House members together and classmates, so we could have said that was a bit of a funny pick as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senator went on to predict that it is \u201cpretty unlikely\u201d Pulte will receive full confirmation from the Senate for his role.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFull confirmation of him would, I think, in this environment, be pretty unlikely. I don\u2019t know him well enough to know whether he has the credentials to do the job, but that\u2019s a problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=654\">Rubio Humiliated to His Face With Trump, 79, Sleeping Video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cramer is not the only person who has questioned Pulte\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Former Obama adviser David Axlerod wrote in a post on X that Trump had appointed someone \u201cwith no relevant experience\u201d to oversee the United States\u2019 intelligence agencies while the nation is at war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink about this: the nation\u2019s at war and the @POTUS appoints his political hatchet man, with no relevant experience, as Director of National Intelligence!?!\u201d Axlerod said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has dismissed the criticism. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President chooses the best and most talented people to serve in his Cabinet. That is why this Administration has achieved record successes for the American people. Bill Pulte is a great selection and he will do a great job on behalf of the American people,\u201d White House spokesman Davis Ingle told the Daily Beast.<\/p>\n<p>Pulte\u2019s tenure at the Federal Housing Finance Agency has been marked by a series of high-profile controversies. He has drawn attention for pursuing mortgage-fraud allegations against several prominent Trump critics, including Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.<\/p>\n<p>He has also been linked to internal White House drama. According to reports, Pulte was the person who first showed Trump an AI-generated image depicting the president as Jesus Christ, which Trump later shared publicly. <\/p>\n<p>Pulte also reportedly got into a heated confrontation with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. <\/p>\n<p>The dispute reportedly centered on claims that Pulte had been speaking negatively about Bessent to Trump, leading to an explosive exchange at a private dinner in Washington, where Bessent reportedly threatened to punch him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy the f&#8212; are you talking to the president about me?
