- President Donald Trump is reportedly displeased with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and is considering replacing her.
- The president is said to be “frustrated” over testimony Noem gave this week before the House and Senate committees. One GOP senator described the situation to NBC News as “water boiling over the edge of the pot.”
- A major point of contention stems from Noem's congressional testimony stating that Trump approved a $220 million ad campaign spending blitz that encouraged migrants to self-deport.
- “I never knew anything about it,” Trump told Reuters Thursday as reports of his frustration with Noem circulated.
- Trump has not made a final decision on Noem, according to NBC, but has been talking with Republicans in the past few days “about his displeasure” as he considers potential replacements.
