I don\u2019t believe he\u2019s ever had a security clearance. He clearly has no experience in intelligence. He has no geopolitical experience, no international connections, the sorts of things you would look for,\u201d Tillis said, adding that Pulte doesn\u2019t have the 51 Senate votes he needs to be confirmed permanently for the role.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Background<\/h2>\n<p>Pulte has been a highly controversial figure in the Trump administration since he was appointed to lead the housing agency last year. He has referred New York Attorney General Letitia James, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis and Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook to the Justice Department for alleged mortgage fraud, but only James has been formally charged, and her case was dismissed by a judge. Pulte has also gone after Powell over the renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters\u2014a chief attack point for Republicans\u2014and backed Trump\u2019s push for Powell to lower interest rates. Multiple figures on both sides of the aisle promptly criticized his appointment on Tuesday, perhaps most notably Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., who told CNN, \u201cwe don\u2019t need a weaponized DNI, we need professionals there.\u201d Trump initially appointed Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lukas to replace Gabbard. It\u2019s unclear why Trump then tapped Pulte instead.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=334\">LGBTQ Travel Company Queer Scout Says Scouting America Sued Over Trademarks Amid \u2018Political Pressure\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>What To Watch For<\/h2>\n<p>Senate Democrats are threatening to block the extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, set to expire June 12, if Trump doesn\u2019t pull Pulte\u2019s nomination, according to Punchbowl.
