Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is out:
President Trump fired his embattled homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, on Thursday and announced plans to replace her with Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, after she was grilled by Republican lawmakers this week at congressional hearings on a variety of topics, including her knowledge of a lucrative advertising contract.
Mr. Trump announced the change on social media, along with a new, and previously nonexistent, role for Ms. Noem: special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, which he said would be a new security initiative for the Western Hemisphere.
According to news reports, the OAFPOTUS has nominated US Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to replace Noem, but with the Senate currently shut down by a debate about funding DHS in the first place, it could be a while before they confirm Mullin.
