Kristi Noem continues to live in military housing after being fired: report

  • Kristi Noem, the ousted Homeland Security Secretary, continues to reside in a military waterfront home in Washington, D.C., more than six weeks after her removal from office, according to the Wall Street Journal.
  • The residence is typically designated for Coast Guard officials, and the current commandant, Admiral Kevin Lunday, plans to move into the house Noem is occupying "imminently."
  • Noem moved onto the military base after protesters and paparazzi discovered her private residence's address while she oversaw the Trump administration’s anti-immigration crackdown.
  • Her top aide, Corey Lewandowski, has also been seen at the home, and both have denied accusations of an extramarital affair.
  • Noem's ousting by President Trump followed several incidents, including falsely accusing U.S. citizen protesters of being "domestic terrorists" and a controversial $220 million TV ad campaign she claimed Trump approved.
