The Director of National Intelligence is one of the most serious national security roles in our government. I joined Jake Tapper 🦅 to discuss Bill Pulte serving as acting DNI, our successful discharge petition to support Ukraine, War Powers, and the anti-weaponization fund. From intelligence oversight to Ukraine to the proper use of taxpayer dollars, these are questions of judgment and public trust. The standard must be clear: follow the law, stand with freedom, and demand accountability.

Bill Pulte is not an experienced national security professional. He is a reckless political hack. Under no circumstances can this guy be allowed to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

Trump is appointing Bill Pulte as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. This guy has ZERO experience in national security—he’s a Trump cult loyalist who will weaponize this critical agency ahead of the election. Extremely dangerous and we have to stop it.

Bill Pulte should NOT be the Director of National Intelligence, even in an acting capacity. This is going to be a battle in the Senate, and I’m going to do all I can to make sure we have someone actually qualified in this critical national security role.

Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) says the Senate's effort to reauthorize FISA Section 702, a key foreign surveillance power, has effectively stalled following President Trump's selection of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, which Himes says is “the worst and most dangerous” of Trump’s appointments. Himes argues the “only right answer” is for Trump to withdraw Pulte's appointment in favor of someone who will give “everybody more confidence that this is somebody with some experience who won't abuse intelligence authorities.”

President Trump named Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as acting director of national intelligence. Pulte, a loyal Trump ally who has frequently targeted the president's opponents, has no background in national intelligence. The appointment drew criticism from Democrats, while the Senate's top Republican also raised concerns. Liz Landers has more.

To serve as Director of National Intelligence, a national security background is not just crucial for the job–it’s required by the law. Bill Pulte is unqualified for the role, and a Democratic Senate will reject nominees who lack the expertise this position demands.
