特朗普力挺任命普尔特担任情报职务,尽管国会内部反对可能阻碍间谍权力续约


2026年6月9日 / 美国东部时间下午6:49 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

美国总统特朗普周二宣布,比尔·普尔特将在一周半后开始担任国家情报代理主任,这实际上是在为他任命这位住房监管机构负责人、特朗普忠实追随者担任该职位的决定辩护——而这一任命危及了一项关于续签关键间谍权限的两党妥协方案。

特朗普选择目前担任联邦住房金融局局长的普尔特,接替即将卸任的国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德。由于普尔特缺乏国家安全背景,以及他在住房监管机构任职期间引发争议的经历——期间他指控多名特朗普政敌存在抵押贷款欺诈行为,这一决定遭到了民主党人的强烈反对。

总统曾表示,普尔特不会被正式任命为国家情报总监,这一正式任命需要参议院确认。普尔特将继续担任联邦住房金融局局长一职,该机构负责监管房利美和房地美这两家抵押贷款巨头。

此次任命正值两党议员争相在本周五前延长《外国情报监控法》第702条款之际。民主党人士表示,只要普尔特仍担任该职位,他们就不会支持续签第702条款——该条款允许政府收集境外非公民的通信信息。

普尔特的这一任命并未得到许多共和党人的欢迎,参议员约翰·科宁、比尔·卡西迪和汤姆·蒂利斯均表达了反对意见。

Trump stands by decision to name Pulte to intel role, despite revolt in Congress that could block spy powers renewal

June 9, 2026 / 6:49 PM EDT / CBS News

Bill Pulte will begin serving as acting director of national intelligence in a week and a half, President Trump announced Tuesday, effectively standing by his decision to name the housing regulator and Trump loyalist to the job — as the appointment endangers a bipartisan compromise on renewing a key spy authority.

Mr. Trump chose Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to replace outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The decision drew intense backlash from Democrats due to both Pulte’s lack of a national security background and his controversial tenure at the housing agency, during which he accused a litany of Trump foes of mortgage fraud.

The president has said Pulte will not be named director of national intelligence permanently, which would require Senate confirmation. Pulte will remain director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The appointment came as lawmakers from both parties rushed to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before it expires Friday. Democrats said they would not support any reauthorization of Section 702 — which allows the government to collect communications of noncitizens abroad — as long as Pulte remained in the position.

The choice of Pulte wasn’t met with enthusiasm by many Republicans, with Sens. John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis all voicing their disapproval.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
