Bill Pulte has abused his position to cry wolf on mortgage fraud against Trump's perceived enemies. Now, Pulte is getting rid of the law enforcement personnel who investigate criminal mortgage fraud, leaving the US housing market at risk. All to protect himself.
Pulte’s FHFA watchdog budget cuts will ‘eliminate’ criminal enforcement, inspector general says.
The agency’s Inspector General told Congress it will have to cut up to 80% of its staff.

Like all of Trump's alternative fact versions of reality, there's a real problem with his claim massive numbers of "illegal aliens" (or people, as I think of them) voted in our elections. If that were true, Trump wouldn't have won with GOP majorities in both houses of Congress.
