The U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs minority released a letter from Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren to Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte questioning whether his social media activity and focus on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell are interfering with his responsibilities as FHFA director and conservator. Warren highlighted that, since the beginning of July, Pulte has posted or reposted more than 100 items on X related to Powell, including 15 posts on July 16. She requested copies of all posts and reposts about Powell, information on how much time social media is taking up in Pulte’s schedule, and details of his involvement in the Trump Administration’s efforts to establish a pretext to fire Powell. The letter also noted that, during Pulte’s confirmation process, Warren requested copies of 25,000 posts on X that he deleted ahead of his confirmation, which she said have not yet been provided.
