Leaked photos and messages reported by the Daily Mail have drawn fresh scrutiny to former DHS secretary Kristi Noem amid new allegations involving her husband, Bryon Noem. The Daily Mail report suggests Bryon Noem engaged in cross-dressing and communicated with online entertainers; Kristi Noem’s spokesperson told the New York Post the family was blindsided. The Daily Beast and The New York Times separately reported comments from a cam model and a brief response from Bryon Noem. The developments surfaced weeks after President Donald Trump removed Kristi Noem as DHS secretary and named her special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Coverage also notes criticism after two protesters were fatally shot during immigration operations in Minneapolis, and a $220 million ad claim Trump denied.
