'Wow': Trump stunned as Noem family confirms national security scandal
President Donald Trump was reportedly shocked after a scandal broke out involving former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's husband, Bryon Noem, who has had an alleged fetish for cross-dressing and could have compromised national security, the president told The Daily Mail on Tuesday.
The outlet called Trump to ask for his reaction to the news after The Daily Mail's investigation uncovered "hundreds" of messages between Bryon Noem and three women in the fetish scene. Photos obtained by the Mail showed him dressed as a woman with fake breasts. He allegedly sent a secret group of online acquaintances at least $25,000 via Paypal and Cash App.
"They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad," Trump told The Daily Mail.
"I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it," Trump said.
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was reportedly "devastated" to learn that her husband had an alleged fetish for cross-dressing.
A spokesperson responded to the New York Post after the Daily Mail reported that the former Trump official's husband was obsessed with a "bimbofication" fetish scene.
"Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time," her representative told the Post.
Kristi Noem has allegedly had a years-long affair with her adviser, Corey Lewandowski, while married.
Bryon Noem has not denied the allegations of cross-dressing or sharing explicit messages in a conversation with The Mail. However, he did deny sharing "indiscreet comments about his wife" that could have endangered national security by exposing her to blackmail threats.
"I deny the second part of that," he said.
