“This is another example of #BillPulte weaponizing his role to do Donald Trump’s bidding, instead of working to lower costs amidst a #HousingCrisis,” said Sen. #ElizabethWarren, of Massachusetts, the ranking #Democrat on the #Senate #Banking Committee. “His behavior raises significant questions, & he needs to be brought in front of #Congress to answer them.”

The episode marks the latest example of #BillPulte using what is typically a low-profile position in the federal bureaucracy to enhance his own standing & gain the attention of #Trump. He’s prompted #mortgage #fraud investigations of prominent #Democrats who are some of Trump’s best known antagonists, including Sen #AdamSchiff of California, #NYAG #LetitiaJames & California Rep #EricSwalwell.

The ouster of Joe Allen, #FHFA's acting #InspectorGeneral, follows the agency's director, Bill Pulte, becoming an outspoken voice in support of the #Trump admin. Across the government, the Trump admin has so far fired or reassigned close to two dozen agency #watchdogs, who police #waste, #fraud & #abuse. It has also defunded the group that supervises those offices.

Created after the 2008 financial crisis, the #FHFA is typically a low-profile regulatory office, but Pulte has launched a new hotline targeting mortgage fraud & made public criminal referrals against a series of #Trump foes including #NYAG #LetitiaJames, as well as #FederaReserve Board Governor #LisaCook & California Democratic Senator #AdamSchiff.

James left the courthouse smiling to cheers from supporters, who chanted, “We stand with Tish!” The case, she declared, was about “a justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge … & a weapon against those individuals who simply did their job & who stood up for the rule of law.”

#NYAG #LetitiaJames pleaded not guilty on Friday to federal charges accusing her of lying on mortgage papers to secure favorable loan terms in a case pushed by #Trump.

James’ first court appearance in Virginia sets the stage for a high-stakes #legal battle between the Republican admin & a Democratic longtime Trump adversary who angered him with a major civil fraud case she [as the state attorney general] brought against him.
