Trump Shocks Washington with Intelligence Chief Pick Unknown to Secretary of State
Share:
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted he had never heard of Bill Pulte in connection with intelligence services, despite President Donald Trump appointing Pulte to lead America's intelligence apparatus. The nomination has surprised Washington officials, with even the nation's top diplomat acknowledging his unfamiliarity with the nominee's intelligence background. Trump's selection of Pulte to head the intelligence community represents another unconventional personnel choice by the president, placing someone with an apparently limited public profile in intelligence matters at the top of the U.S. spy agencies.
