TL;DR

Trump’s acting DNI Bill Pulte arrived a day early and reportedly wants a full ODNI staff list to gauge who to fire, with talk of hundreds of job cuts; he lacks security clearance and intelligence experience, has pressed for PDB access and a government plane, and will remain FHFA director while serving as acting DNI as Jay Clayton’s nomination stalls, drawing bipartisan concerns about his fitness and loyalties.
