参议院银行委员会的民主党人再次呼吁联邦住房金融局（FHFA）局长比尔·普尔特（Bill Pulte）出席国会听证会，此前他在本月初将该机构的内部监督机构边缘化。
Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee are renewing their calls for Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte to appear before Congress after he sidelined its internal watchdog earlier this month.
议员们在致参议院银行委员会主席、南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员蒂姆·斯科特（Tim Scott）的一封信中写道：“鉴于普尔特局长最近决定关闭FHFA监察长办公室，听取他的证词比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
“Hearing testimony from Director Pulte is more important than ever in light of his recent decision to shutter the FHFA Office of Inspector General,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott, R-S.C., shared first with Semafor.
他们还强调了普尔特的其它举措，包括任命自己为房利美（Fannie Mae）和房地美（Freddie Mac）的主席、裁员、指控特朗普的政治对手进行抵押贷款欺诈，以及同时担任国家情报代理局长。
They also highlighted Pulte’s other moves, like appointing himself as chair of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; laying off employees; accusing Trump’s political enemies of mortgage fraud; and serving simultaneously as acting director of national intelligence.
这封信为民主党人如果能在今年秋季赢得参众两院中任何一院的多数席位，将如何审查该机构提供了一份有用的路线图。
The letter provides a useful road map for how Democrats would scrutinize the agency if they win a majority of either chamber this fall. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, the Nevada Democrat who led the effort, pushed for passage of a bill last week that would require the FHFA internal watchdog receive whatever funding it requested.
领导此次行动的内华达州民主党参议员凯瑟琳·科尔特斯·马斯托（Catherine Cortez Masto）上周推动通过了一项法案，要求FHFA内部监督机构获得其所要求的任何资金。斯科特和FHFA均未回应置评请求。
Scott and FHFA did not return requests for comment.
