Pulte is 'Woefully Under Qualified' To Be Intelligence Director Says Riggleman

Denver Riggleman, former Republican Congressman from Virginia and CEO of RIIG Technology, stated that Bill Pulte is "woefully under qualified" to be Director of National Intelligence. Riggleman's comments come as at least seven Senate Democrats have threatened to block the re-authorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) unless the White House withdraws Pulte's appointment. The potential blockage of Section 702, a critical surveillance tool, highlights the significant opposition to Pulte's nomination within the Senate. Riggleman's critique suggests a lack of confidence in Pulte's experience and suitability for the high-level intelligence role, potentially impacting national security legislation.
