FHFA Director Bill Pulte gets a glimpse of what congressional oversight looks like as leading Democrats criticize him for actions in his first weeks in office.

FHFA under the leadership of Bill Pulte has rescinded, deleted or closed at least eight agency directives without providing notice on the agency’s website or announcing the changes in a press release.

The new FHFA director’s whirlwind first week resulted in widespread staffing cuts at the regulator and a dramatic change in leadership at the GSEs. So far, criticism has been muted.

Trade groups want FHFA to conduct a cost/benefit analysis before implementing the long-awaited shift from Classic FICO to FICO 10 T and VantageScore 4.0.

Aaron Kofsky has joined FHFA’s Division of Housing Mission and Goals.

The creation of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund could grease the skids for an end to the conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Analysts worry that FHFA’s more hands-on intervention in GSE management may hint at the return of the net worth sweep and the dashing of any hopes of an end to the conservatorships.

Among other moves, Bill Pulte installed himself as board chair for the two government-sponsored enterprises.
