No Joke: Trump nominates director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to replace Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.

The New York Times reported last November that before the 2024 election, “Bill Pulte and his wife, Diana, contributed nearly $1 million to various campaign committees supporting Mr. Trump and other Republican candidates.”

Tulsi Gabbard may have been many things. But there's no indication that $$$ got her the job as DNI.
