Fannie Mae (FNMA)

[955]

A peak into Trump's stance on Fannie & Freddie:

Some major supporters of Trump and the Republicans also are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders. Hedge fund manager John Paulson of Paulson & Co. was named to Trump’s economic policy team in August. His is among a group of hedge funds that have spent millions of dollars lobbying Congress and running a public-relations campaign seeking to realize value from their investments in the two mortgage companies.

Bruce Berkowitz, who runs mutual fund company Fairholme Funds Inc., said he would support Trump in a CNBC interview in September.

The government has fought not only the lawsuits but the disclosure of documents that the shareholders believe will help their cases. A new White House could change that litigation tactic.
