• William Pulte appointed as acting director of national intelligence.
• Pulte lacks experience in intelligence, currently leads Federal Housing Finance Agency.
• He will retain his current post and chairmanship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
• Former national security leads express concern over the pick.

This appointment may indicate a shift in the administration's priorities for the intelligence community, potentially prioritizing loyalty over experience. The choice of Pulte, who has no background in intelligence, could suggest a desire for a more politicized approach to national security, which may have significant implications for the nation's spy agencies.
