Trump said Noem does not deserve compassion because she is “not just a puppy murderer, you oversaw the fascist agency that’s been killing Americans in American streets.”

Adding several photos of Noem, including one where she is seen posing in front of prisoners, Trump said, “Kristi is now claiming that she deserves what she has denied hundreds of thousands of times for millions of people, her rights to be respected.”

"Ms Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time," the statement

Bryon Noem’s secret life goes viral

As the scandal emerged, social media users questioned how Kristi Noem could be unaware of her husband's actions despite leading the most crucial department in Donald Trump’s administration.

Earlier this week, The Daily Mail reported that Bryon Noem had a “bimbofication” fetish, as he was seeking a woman with a “Barbie Doll”-like appearance online. He also reportedly sent $25,000 to his online connections.

Photos of Bryon Noem wearing pink spandex with balloons on his chest to resemble breasts and flirting with women online have emerged.

Experts say Bryon’s actions could have exposed DHS to blackmail. “It's astounding that somebody whose spouse is at that level has that kind of bad judgment,” US counterintelligence expert Jack Barsky told Daily Mail.

The photos were also checked for being fake or AI-generated, but they were found to be authentic.
