Trump fires Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary
The president has nominated Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace herwww.independent.co.uk
Let’s be honest, she should have never been confirmed in the first place
But her tenure had been marked by a string of controversies, and her fate had been the focus of speculation among Mr. Trump’s allies for several weeks. On Thursday, the president contradicted remarks that Ms. Noem made under penalty of perjury in her hearing before a Senate panel on Wednesday: that Mr. Trump had signed off on a border security advertising campaign featuring Ms. Noem.
“I never knew anything about it,” Mr. Trump told Reuters. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment, and referred a reporter to Mr. Trump’s comments to Reuters.
Ms. Noem has faced scrutiny from lawmakers about the campaign, on which the government spent $220 million. The firm handling it was connected to the husband of Ms. Noem’s former spokeswoman.
Rather than fire her for doing an awful job, and being a liar, it kinda appears as though her grifting got her in the end. A grifter fired by a grifter.
