US EditionGovernment accountability office opens investigation into FHFA chief Bill Pulte
The GAO is investigating FHFA Director Bill Pulte over possible misuse of government resources in politically motivated mortgage fraud referrals, following a bipartisan Senate request.
- On Dec 4, the Government Accountability Office opened an investigation into Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and said the review could take a few months.
- Eight Democratic U.S. senators sent a November letter urging GAO to promptly investigate FHFA Director Bill Pulte's recent actions, citing scrutiny of his criminal referrals.
- Pulte referred Letitia James, Adam Schiff, Lisa Cook and Eric Swalwell to the Justice Department for mortgage fraud and bypassed the FHFA inspector general, who was ousted last month.
- A federal judge last month dismissed charges tied to a Pulte referral, and federal prosecutors in Maryland recently began scrutinizing Pulte's conduct related to Senator Adam Schiff, while officials deny wrongdoing.
- GAO accepted the request and said it will set the review's scope and methodology, and A. Nicole Clowers wrote it will coordinate with the FHFA acting inspector general.
