While Smith still holds her position, the senior #FannieMae officials who called her conduct into question were all forced out of their jobs late last month, along with internal #ethics #watchdogs who were investigating #BillPulte & his allies.
The dismissals rattled the #housing industry & drew condemnation from #Democrats. It also gave more evidence to support claims that Pulte has leveraged the nonpublic information available to him to further his own political aims.
“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.”
