In 2025, over 100 Fannie Mae employees were fired for mortgage fraud, aiming to restore integrity in U.S. housing.

In April 2025, the Trump administration led to over 100 employees being fired from Fannie Mae for unethical conduct and mortgage fraud. This move, aimed at restoring integrity in the U.S. housing system, follows broader reforms initiated by FHFA director Bil Pulte, who has also terminated key housing programs. The firings could signal stricter controls and a cultural shift in government-backed financial institutions.
