Donald Trump has elevated a MAGA acolyte named Bill Pulte to be his acting director of national intelligence. The American people are rightly outraged, and Congress must do everything in its power to get Pulte out of the position.
Bill Pulte is manifestly unqualified to be director of national intelligence. And there is every reason to believe that he will exploit his access to our nation’s intelligence apparatus to attack people and groups that Trump perceives as his enemies and to interfere in our elections. Congress must act immediately to force Pulte out of the position.
