Donald Trump has revealed who will replace Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard following her planned resignation, and the left is very unhappy.

Trump announced that Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and Chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, will serve as acting Director of National Intelligence.

I am appointing the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, William J. Pulte, to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago.

During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac.

Congratulations to Director Pulte! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump also said that Pulte will remain Director of FHFA and the Chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while serving as acting DNI.

Pulte is a huge favorite of Trump’s and extremely loyal to the president.

But what makes this pick stunning is that Pulte has no experience in the national intelligence realm, either in the private or government sectors.

Leftists, including Chuck Schumer, threw a fit over Pulte’s nomination:

Bill Pulte is a partisan thug with no experience in intelligence.

He is another unqualified Trump appointee that will make our country less safe.

And you won’t hear a word from the Republicans who claim to care about national security. https://t.co/sE6d9MYyZV

MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just put Bill Pulte, who has NO background in national security, and weaponized government to go after Trump Critics Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Cook, in as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.

At a time when the U.S. is at war and the threats to national security loom large, we need a Director of National Intelligence who is knowledgeable, experienced, and respected.

Bill Pulte is none of these things.

He politicized and weaponized the housing agencies and will do… https://t.co/b2kVazcRrU

Bill Pulte led Donald Trump’s efforts to charge and jail his political enemies, now he’s being rewarded with a job he has no business doing.

Putting Pulte at the helm of the intelligence community risks American lives just so Trump can keep going after his political opponents. https://t.co/BSL2JeEMLC

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Gabbard announced last month that she would be resigning as the Director of National Intelligence.

She is stepping down to be with her husband as he battles an extremely rare form of bone cancer.

“I’m deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half,” she wrote to Trump in a letter.

“Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026,” she continued. “My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”
