Trump fires DHS Secy Kristi Noem amid ICE row & Lewandowski scandal; taps Sen Mullin as replacement

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been removed from her position in the Trump administration. President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will nominate Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security. Reports surfaced that Trump had grown frustrated with Noem following contentious testimony during recent congressional hearings over $220M advertising contract and her alleged relationship with Corey Lewandowski. With her removal now confirmed, attention turns to the potential nomination of Senator Markwayne Mullin, who would require Senate confirmation to officially take over leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.
