President Donald Trump intends to nominate Michael Bright to be the president of the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) under the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the White House has announced.
Bright is currently acting president of the company. He joined Ginnie Mae in July 2017 as executive vice president and COO. In that role, he manages all operations for Ginnie Mae’s $1.8 trillion portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.
