Revealed: Trump insiders assembling a 'dossier' on 'chaos causing' White House aide

Source: Raw Story

November 16, 2025 7:20PM ET

Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), seems to get along very well with President Donald Trump and that, reports The Daily Beast, is rattling MAGA Republican feathers. Pulte, writes Will Neal, "has reportedly made such a song and dance of pandering to the president that it’s starting to drive other aides insane."

Pulte's stunts, he writes, "using 'Ghostbusters'-themed posters as props in exchanges" with Trump, his habit of publicly bashing Trump opponents, and his emulating of the president's propensity to go off on "bizarre tangents during meetings with others," has led insiders to refer to him as "Little Trump."

Pulte made headlines most recently when he floated the idea of the federal government backing a 50-year loan program to address housing affordability.

When news broke that a team of ethics and investigations watchdogs had been fired at Fannie Mae, a government enterprise that helps keep the U.S. housing market stable, it was reported that investigators were "probing whether Pulte had improperly obtained sensitive mortgage data on key MAGA enemies, including New York Attorney General Letitia James," Neal explains.

The House Democratic leader referred to Pulte as “a malignant hack” and a “corrupt sycophant” who might be held criminally liable for his recent actions.

"Jeffries concluded, 'Pulte knows what he is doing is lawless... Accountability is coming. The statute of limitations is five years. Every single corrupt sycophant, including Bill Pulte, who continues to disgrace the law will have to answer for their actions'...â€

In the recent past, the Federal Housing Finance Agency was an obscure federal agency, and its directors were largely anonymous to the American mainstream. Bill Pulte, a presidential sycophant recently described by The Washington Post as “a prominent Trump sidekick,” has changed all of this, quickly and dramatically......

Time will tell what, if anything, comes of these allegations — the congressman has denied any wrongdoing — but Swalwell picked up some notable support from his caucus leader, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who issued a strongly worded statement in support of his colleague.

The New York Democrat referred to Pulte’s claims against Swalwell as “laughable,” before adding:

Bill Pulte is nothing more than a malignant hack who is abdicating his responsibility to help everyday Americans afford a home, and is instead wasting taxpayer dollars on baseless investigations into Donald Trump’s perceived political enemies. Pulte knows what he is doing is lawless, which is why he fired the Acting Inspector General and Fannie Mae ethics officers who were investigating whether he was inappropriately accessing the mortgage details of Democratic officials.

Jeffries concluded, “Accountability is coming. The statute of limitations is five years. Every single corrupt sycophant, including Bill Pulte, who continues to disgrace the law will have to answer for their actions.”

The Democratic leader didn’t elaborate, but the written statement made it sound as if Pulte’s abuses might themselves be the subject of future investigations.
