Bill Pulte to Newsmax: Trump Cutting Home Costs, Rates
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte told Newsmax on Friday that President Donald Trump is using two methods to drive down home prices and mortgage rates.
Speaking on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Pulte said Trump is preparing executive actions on housing that he expects Congress will later codify, calling the effort a "huge deal" for affordability after what he described as four disastrous years under former President Joe Biden.
"Nobody could afford a home these last four years," Pulte said. "It’s absolutely, totally crazy."
Pulte said the first move is Trump’s move to block large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Trump this week argued that corporate ownership is pricing Americans out of the housing market.
The second is Trump’s directive for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase up to $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities — a move Pulte said is already having a dramatic impact.
"That’s a very big deal," Pulte said, noting that Trump is using the power of his administration to directly influence mortgage markets. "Since yesterday, the mortgage bond market closed around 6.2% on the 30-year. We’re already seeing 5.875% today."
Pulte called the rapid decline a "one-two punch," crediting Trump’s leadership for pushing mortgage rates back into the 5% range — a level many buyers have not seen in years.
"Mortgage rates under Biden were almost at 8%," Pulte said. "Now President Trump is delivering 5.875%. This is a big deal."
Pulte told Schmitt to expect additional announcements in the coming weeks, potentially tied to the president’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Deranged Jack Smith should be sitting in prison for all that he has done to disgrace our Country!

Jack Smith team approved $20k payment to informant to snitch on Trump team during Arctic Frost case
Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith's office approved paying $20,000 in 2023 to a confidential human source for information in the controversial FBI investigation code-named Arctic Frost that probed efforts by President Donald Trump and his followers to contest the 2020 election results, according to documents obtained by Just the News.
The revelation is included in a tranche of new memos that FBI Director Kash Patel turned over to Congress this week that provide more clarity on the tactics and scope of inquiry that agents and prosectors used to try to build a case that Trump, his lawyers and allies violated the law by trying to offer the Senate alternate electors ahead of the certification of the 2020 election results that put Joe Biden into office.
The records reveal multiple efforts by FBI supervisors to make Trump himself a "subject" of the probe, an idea that was rejected, their reliance on information in liberal media outlets to build the case and the sheer magnitude of major Trump figures whose phone or emails records were exploited by the FBI for possible evidence of wrongdoing.
The new revelations include that the FBI obtained email records from nearly 150 figures in Trump world and that they analyzed phone data not just on nine allies of Trump in Congress but also on his lawyers and some of his outside advisers like prominent TV host Steve Bannon.

Bannon's name was included in a list of at least 16 Trump associates whose long-distance phone call records were analyzed by the FBI for evidence that also included Trump's former campaign manager Bill Stepien, personal lawyers Sidney Powell, Jenne Ellis and Cleta Mitchell and the late former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik, who led a team of investigatings probing irregularities in the 2020 election.
One memo also showed that in addition to Trump's and Vice President Mike Pence's personal cell phones which Just the News previously reported were obtained the FBI also analyzed the phone calls from "more than 50 White House-issued cell phones."
But the biggest bombshell in the latest document was the revelation that the FBI had an informant that Smith's office approved for compensation for the dirt he or she shared with the FBI.
An electronic communication "documents prosecutorial approval, in the form of emailed concurrence from Counselor to the Special Counsel Raymond Hulser on 06/02/2023, of a payment for information in the amount of $20,000.00 to [name redacted] for information provided in support of captioned investigation," one memo reads.
"The payment was discussed by Raymond Hulser and Assistant Special Counsel Julia Gegenheimer with Special Counsel Jack Smith," the memo added.
The memos showed the chain of approval with an FBI agent writing Smith's office on June 2., 2023: "As discussed, request your office's concurrence in our proposed payment of $20,000 for CHS' provision of information in support of the investigation."
Hulser wrote back succinctly, "Concur, thank you."
There have long been rumors of an informant the FBI used to build the Arctic Frost case, and the new memos are certain to spur a i which intrigue as to the person's identity and whether they were a rump insider.
Arctic Forst has generated controversy because it secured an order from U.S. District Judge Boasberg that let the executive branch in the form of Smith's office obtain the phone records of eight U.S. Senators and one congressman and swept up information from hundreds of conservative figures and groups.
At least two of the members of Congress - Sens. Lindsey Graham and Marsha Blackburn – have vowed to sue the DOJ for piercing their congressional privilege and privacy protected by the separation of powers clause of the U.S. Constitution. And other Republican lawmakers have raised concern the probe swept up too much information too broadly without regard for Fourth Amendment, essential resembling a fishing expedition instead of a targeted probe.
