华盛顿——特朗普总统周四对记者表示，他有争议的代理国家情报总监人选比尔·普尔特不会被正式提名永久担任该职位，政府正在面试其他候选人以长期填补这一岗位。
不过在普尔特执掌国家情报总监办公室期间，特朗普表示他可能“会发现一些关于选举舞弊的真相”。这一评论引人关注，因为此前离任的国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德于今年早些时候出席了联邦调查局对佐治亚州富尔顿县某选举中心的搜查行动。
“这是一个临时职位，不是永久的，他不会永久担任该职务，因为，你知道，我认为他也不想长期干下去，”特朗普总统在椭圆形办公室说道。“但他非常聪明，可能会发现一些关于选举舞弊之类的事情。我认为他愿意做这份工作。我觉得——我认为他非常想做。他精力充沛。但他会做得非常出色。再说一遍，这不是一个永久职位。我们目前正在面试其他人。只是找个人临时接管一段时间。”
特朗普提名普尔特一事并未在国会山获得热烈反响，当时参议院共和党人内部本就紧张局势升温。共和党人希望延长联邦政府的监视权限，但民主党人威胁称，如果普尔特负责监督美国情报机构，他们将阻挠相关进程。
有人问特朗普，普尔特是否具备担任美国最高情报首长所需的国家安全经验。
“我认为他具备，实际上，因为他很聪明，”特朗普回应道。“很多国家安全相关的工作——听着，我当初在国家安全方面也没多少经验，但我认为我在这方面做得非常出色，很多人都会这么说。”
特朗普还称普尔特是一个“品行高尚的人”，并表示他在管理房利美和房地美期间表现“极其出色”。
加巴德到访富尔顿县搜查现场一事引发了人们对情报机构政治化的担忧，包括一些共和党人也表达了此类顾虑。富尔顿县是特朗普2020年败给乔·拜登的关键选区。当时加巴德的一位发言人表示，特朗普和当时的司法部长帕姆·邦迪都要求她到场观摩联邦调查局对选举总部的搜查行动。特朗普称加巴德出席搜查行动“是帕姆坚持的结果”，这里的帕姆指的是邦迪。
Trump says Bill Pulte won’t be director of national intelligence permanently

Washington — President Trump told reporters Thursday that Bill Pulte, his controversial pick for acting director of national intelligence, won’t be nominated to the role permanently, and the administration is interviewing other candidates to fill the role in the long term.
But while Pulte is heading up the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the president said he may “find out some things about the rigged elections,” a notable comment after outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard attended an FBI search of an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, earlier this year.
“It’s an acting position, it’s not permanent, he’s not going to be permanent because, you know, I don’t think he’d want to be permanent,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. “But he’s a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections, etc., etc. I think he’d like to do it. I’d like to — I think he wants to do it very much. Got a lot of energy. But he’ll be very good. Again, it’s not a permanent position. We’re looking at, we’re interviewing people right now. But it’s somebody just to take it over for a little while.”
The president’s pick of Pulte, who has no known national security experience and investigated Trump foes for mortgage fraud as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, was not met with enthusiasm on Capitol Hill, at a time when tensions are already high among Senate Republicans. Republicans are looking to extend the federal government’s surveillance powers, but Democrats are threatening to hold up that process if Pulte is in charge of overseeing the nation’s intelligence agencies.
The president was asked if Pulte has the national security experience necessary for the nation’s top intelligence chief.
“I think he does, actually, because he’s smart,” Mr. Trump responded. “Because a lot of national security — look, I wasn’t greatly experienced in national security and I think I’ve done a really great job with it, a lot of people would say that.”
The president also called Pulte a “person who’s got high integrity” and who has done a “phenomenal” job running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Gabbard’s visit to the raid in Fulton County, a key county in Mr. Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in 2020, raised concerns about the politicization of the intelligence community, including from some Republicans. At the time, a spokesperson for Gabbard said both the president and then-Attorney General Pam Bondi asked her to be present for the FBI search of the elections headquarters. The president said Gabbard attended the search “at Pam’s insistence,” meaning Bondi.
