Trump ousts watchdog of US housing regulator involved in mortgage probes of his foes: Report

  • On Tuesday, Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, was reported under ethics investigation after he unearthed mortgage documents that triggered the probe.
  • Fannie Mae's ethics office received internal complaints alleging senior officials directed staff to access mortgage documents for critics of President Donald Trump, including New York Attorney General Letitia James.
  • Investigators elevated the matter to the FHFA Office of Inspector General, which then passed it to the U.S. attorney's office in eastern Virginia; Bill Pulte was the original source and made similar claims about Sen. Adam Schiff and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
  • FHFA leadership removed multiple ethics office personnel shortly, dismissing Suzanne Libby, Danielle McCoy and Joe Allen; Pulte said firings were over their DEI involvement.
  • This controversy intersects with broader legal and political battles over mortgage records, and the probe could dent the FHFA's credibility amid ongoing fights involving Letitia James, New York Attorney General.
