Pulte did not respond to a request for comment. 'PARTISAN THUG' "I don't see any evidence of qualifications for that job," said Republican John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee who lost a primary election last week to a Trump-backed challenger. Pulte has encouraged prosecutions of the president's perceived political enemies, accusing New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Senator Adam Schiff, both Democrats, and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, an appointee of Democratic former President Joe Biden, of mortgage fraud.
