White House Slams 'Total Fake News' as Report Suggests DHS Secretary on Chopping Block
The White House has swiftly dismissed reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under threat of removal from her position. In a statement, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called the claims "total fake news" and defended Noem's effectiveness in implementing Trump's agenda.
According to sources within the Department of Homeland Security, Noem's involvement in the agency has diminished lately, sparking speculation about her future at the department. The claims, which include rumors that Noem could be replaced as early as next year if President Donald Trump seeks a "clean slate," have been widely reported by news outlets.
However, Jackson disputes these reports, citing Noem's commitment to Trump's policies and her role in making America safe again. This criticism of Noem is said to be rife among top White House officials, with chief adviser Corey Lewandowski being a particular target of blame.
Despite the controversy surrounding Noem, the President has publicly praised her, suggesting that any potential shake-up at DHS may not be as imminent as some have suggested.
