FHFA

The Government Accountability Office has opened a probe into Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte after top Senate Democrats asked the watchdog to examine whether he misused his authority by referring Letitia James, Adam Schiff, Lisa Cook and Eric Swalwell to the Justice Department for alleged mortgage fraud. A GAO spokesperson confirmed the request was accepted and the agency is beginning to determine scope and methodology, while the FHFA declined to comment.
