Sen. Schumer: ‘Bill Pulte Has Proven Himself Willing to Act as a Trump Political Puppet’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “This morning, Trump appointed Bill Pulte to serve as acting Director of National Intelligence, something that should send a shiver down the spine of everyone. Bill Pulte has proven himself willing to act as a Trump political puppet, filing baseless, outrageous, politically motivated charges on Trump’s behalf. And now Trump wants to put him in charge of intelligence? Americans need an intelligence chief to be loyal to the facts. If you’re not loyal to the facts and intelligence, you’re not protecting our security. He needs the intelligence and security teams to pay attention to the security of the nation, not to the political interests of one man, which is what Pulte has done over and over and over again, just paid attention to the political interests of one man.”
