Protective detail requested for housing official after probes of NY attorney general and others

The Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General has been requested to provide a temporary security detail for Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte due to credible death threats following his call for a Justice Department investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud. The detail is unusual as Pulte’s agency is not under HHS, and it will involve two to three agents on 30-day rotations, expected to last up to 90 days while the FHFA seeks its own security personnel.
