Google “Newt Gingrich Fannie Mae” or go read “Reckless Endangerment”. It's why I think you don't see much discussion in the Republican debates about who did what that led to the meltdown in ‘08. Bush supposedly tried to rein it in, but at the same time you can find him at signing ceremonies where down payment standards were reduced. Most R's like big government just like D's.

I did a little googling and did not find much, Newt left Congress in 1998 almost 14 years ago, 10 years before the melt down. I am not buying Newt is responsible for the Fannie Freddie mess.
