one day after his inauguration
This timing is wrong. Donald Trump’s second inauguration was on January 20, 2025, so January 16 was four days before his inauguration, not one day after.
Full reasoning
The article places Trump's inauguration before January 16, 2025, but official records show otherwise.
- The White House's transcript of The Inaugural Address is dated January 20, 2025 and is explicitly labeled as the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol.
- The National Archives likewise states that on the following January 20, the President of the United States takes the oath of office.
So if Pulte was named on January 16, 2025, that date was before Trump's inauguration, not "one day after" it.

Pulte appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on February 20
The hearing date is incorrect. Senate records show Pulte’s nomination hearing before the Banking Committee was on February 27, 2025, not February 20.
Full reasoning
The article gives the wrong date for Pulte's Senate Banking Committee appearance.
- The official Senate Banking Committee hearing page for Pulte's nomination lists the Nomination Hearing date as Thursday, February 27, 2025.
- Senator Ruben Gallego's press release about questioning Pulte at that same hearing is also dated Thursday, February 27, 2025.
Those official records directly contradict the article's claim that Pulte appeared before the committee on February 20.
