The U.S. Government Accountability Office launches investigation into "Fed critic" Poole

Jinse Finance reported, citing AXIOS, that the U.S. Government Accountability Office confirmed on Thursday that it has launched an investigation into Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who has drawn criticism for consistently attacking opponents of Trump. A spokesperson for the agency stated: “I can confirm that the Accountability Office has accepted the investigation request according to standard procedures. It may take several months to determine the full scope of the investigation and the planned completion time.” According to reports, Pulte has also been involved this year in a grand jury investigation related to multiple mortgage fraud cases. As Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Pulte has used his position to accuse competitors of the Trump administration of mortgage fraud. Pulte has long been a critic of the Federal Reserve, frequently calling for Powell’s resignation, and has accused Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook of mortgage fraud, making similar allegations against New York Attorney General James and California Democratic Senator Schiff.
