Department of Homeland Security officials have claimed that President Donald Trump knew about Kristi Noem’s $200 million ad campaign, which contributed to her dismissal earlier this month, according to a new report.
The controversial commercials began hitting the airwaves early last year, with one featuring Noem on horseback near Mount Rushmore, warning illegal immigrants to stay away. They ranked among the costliest government advertising blitzes in history, raising eyebrows across the aisle.
