Former DHS Secretary plotted last ditch move to distract from scandals
From the Daily Beast: Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem tried to launch a new border wall project to pull attention away from her mounting problems.
"Noem . . . proposed to build 500 miles of border wall near Big Bend National Park in Texas. The plot went against Border Patrol’s plans to secure the region, according to a Friday report from the Washington Examiner." Sources said the project was “an attempt to distract” from Noem’s scandals following the two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis and her $200 million ad campaign. The new stretch of wall was first proposed on the same day as Renee Good’s killing on January 7.
