Trump Appointee Faces Mortgage Records Scandal

On November eleventh, a major story unfolded involving a Trump appointee, Bill Pulte, and allegations of improper access to mortgage records belonging to key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James. Fannie Mae investigators, later removed from their positions, were looking into whether Pulte had improperly obtained these records. The investigation was escalated to the Office of Inspector General for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, headed by Pulte himself, and then forwarded to the U.S. attorney’s office in eastern Virginia. This development raises serious questions about data privacy, power use, and oversight within government-sponsored enterprises.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
