Noem’s Alleged Adultery Flights Cost Taxpayers
Rumors of an affair between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and political adviser Corey Lewandowski are reportedly linked to taxpayer-funded travel on a luxury Boeing 737 MAX jet, which the Department of Homeland Security is in the process of acquiring for approximately $70 million. This opulent aircraft, featuring a private cabin with a master bathroom and shower stall, is just one example of a pattern of potentially wasteful spending at the DHS, which also recently purchased a fleet of six commercial jets for $140 million, ostensibly for deportation flights. The reporting raises significant questions about whether taxpayers are receiving value for money, particularly in contrast to past promises of fiscal accountability from the administration.
