Trump reacts after Kristi Noem's husband Bryon exposed in cross-dressing scandal: 'That's too bad'
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump shared his comment after an explosive report exposed Kristi Noem’s husband's apparent hidden double life. Bryon Noem has reportedly been involved in online forums while cross-dressing in private messages to a number of women, as claimed by The Daily Mail.
Reacting to the report, the US commander in chief expressed his surprise that the Noem family has confirmed that it was indeed Bryon in the multiple controversial photos, including one showing him posing in hot pink underwear and a skin-colored shirt with large, faux breasts worn underneath.
Donald Trump says he has no idea about Bryon Noem's scandal
“They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad. I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it,” Trump stated.
The Republican leader’s statement came after the former Secretary of Homeland Security’s spokesperson said that she was "devastated" by the discovery.
“The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” they added.
Report claims Bryon knows about Kristi Noem's alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski
Kristi and Bryon have been married for over three decades. They are also parents to three children — Kassidy, Kennedy, and Booker.
The Daily Mail’s investigative report published on Tuesday, March 31, showed Bryon telling models that he loves “huge, huge ridiculous b***s”. It also revealed that he spent at least $25,000 to chat with models and talked to them about his wife’s alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski.
“I know. There's nothing I can do about it,” he apparently told the models.
Trump replaces Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin
The scandal came weeks after Kristi was terminated from the DHS. She faced extreme scrutiny after the fatal shootings of two US citizens — Renee Good and Alex Pretti — by federal officers during immigration operations in Minneapolis in January.
In a Truth Social post earlier this month, Trump said, “The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’”
