In a recent leadership shake-up, Fannie Mae's (OTCQB:FNMA) chief compliance and ethics officer, Nancy Jardini, was dismissed amid broader changes led by the new Federal Housing Finance Agency head, Bill Pulte. Appointed by former President Trump, Pulte is focusing on ending the FHFA conservatorship over Fannie Mae and its counterpart, Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC), which has been in place since 2008. This move comes as the Trump administration reportedly considers an executive order to privatize these government-sponsored enterprises.
