U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Bill Pottinger will assume the role of Director of National Intelligence before the expected date of June 19th, succeeding Tulsi Gabbard who resigned to care for her husband affected by cancer. Pottinger, 38 years old, also serves as the director of the federally based Fannie Mae agency, in addition to chairing the board of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Despite criticisms regarding his limited experience and potential partisan bias, Trump confirmed that he does not intend to appoint him permanently until the Senate confirms him.
