A new Reuters report has determined the father and stepmother of Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), have improperly claimed primary residence on two different properties in two different states – a situation that resonates closely to the circumstances that fueled Pulte’s criminal referral against Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook.
A review of public records discovered Mark and Julie Pulte claimed homestead exemptions for residences in wealthy neighborhoods located in Bloomfield Township, Michigan and Boca Raton, Florida. The exemption would enable the Pultes to enjoy a discount on property taxes for a primary residence.
The Michigan home was rented out, a violation of the exemption rules. Tax officials in Bloomfield Township responded to the news by stating the Pultes’ exemption was being immediately revoked. Darrin Kraatz, director of assessing, said, “Revised tax bills will be issued to the Pultes, including all applicable penalty and interest.”
Florida officials noted the exemption was first claimed in their state and that any conflict would be addressed by their Michigan counterparts.
Pulte has thrust himself into the political spotlight by accusing Cook of intentionally committed mortgage fraud by listing two residences in two states as a primary residence. President Trump has tried to remove Cook from the Fed based on Pulte’s accusations, which she is fighting in court.
Still, Pulte’s multiple posts on his personal X account that “Financial fraud is a big deal” and his berating of Cook for renting out one of her two homes could easily apply to his father and stepmother. Pulte has made no public comment on the Reuters report.
Yet another unqualified thug placed in a position of Authority.
So, if your relative is/has committed a crime, then you can’t hold anyone accountable? You can’t refer anyone for investigation and prosecution. Well at least that explains Biden’s silence about Hunter, I guess.
Not really, Steven. Hunter paid his taxes late but reimbursed the gov with penalties (where’s tRump’s taxes? He’s not STILL under “audit,” is he?) & a dispute over a firearm application. Hunter went to court & paid the price of lawfare. However, Hunter NEVER weaponized the DOJ to go after Biden’s opponents, did he? Were Pulte’s parents charged for the same “crime” they committed? What punishment did they receive? What about Bessent & other GOP members guilty of same? Their punishments? Oh, did you see Donnie Jr. is now serving on the Board of Directors in a position for which he’s unqualified? Deja vu, eh?
Ouch! He who lives in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks!
When does the Ken Paxton criminal
Referral get filed?
When you live in a glass house, you shouldn’t throw stones Pulte.
A person should be careful about pointing fingers if their own house isn’t in order.
Principal residences in Florida a callled “homestead” and enjoy tax discounts and immunity from levy and execution for debt. To claim it falsely is a felony
