President Donald Trump is reportedly pushing for a replacement for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin emerging as a potential candidate to fill the role, amid growing frustration among White House officials and GOP lawmakers.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he was pushing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem out of her position and would name Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her as frustrations build among White House officials and GOP lawmakers over her tenure at the department. The move comes amid growing tensions between Trump and Noem, who has been a vocal critic of his policies.
