President Donald Trump said Tuesday night that Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte will begin serving as acting director of national intelligence at the end of next week.

Trump announced Pulte's appointment last week, and the official will replace Tulsi Gabbard in the post. Gabbard revealed last month that she would resign June 30 to support her husband in his battle with a rare form of bone cancer.

The president said in a post on Truth Social that Pulte will now take over as acting director on June 19 and that the FHFA official is working with Gabbard in the transition.

"He will remain as Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac," Trump wrote in the post. "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Gabbard has not commented on Pulte's appointment so far but said last week that her husband had a surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue that lasted almost seven hours but was ultimately successful.

"He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain but is finally home resting," she posted on X. "Now recovery begins.  We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you. Our hearts are full."
