GAO Launches Investigation into FHFA Chief Bill Pulte Amid Mortgage Fraud Claims

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has opened an investigation into Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) chief and ally of former President Trump. This probe arises from allegations of mishandling mortgage fraud referrals and accusations made by Pulte against political rivals. Following pressure from Senate Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, the congressional watchdog aims to determine whether Pulte has abused his position in relation to these claims. The investigation reflects growing scrutiny over the conduct of Trump administration officials.
