Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is still living in a waterfront home on a Washington, D.C., military base nearly two months after she was fired, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Noem moved into the home—usually reserved for the Coast Guard commandant—after the previous commandant, Linda Fagan, was dismissed. It is not typical for Cabinet members or civilians to reside in military housing.
While other Trump Cabinet members have chosen military housing during his second term, reportedly due to security threats, Noem is no longer a Cabinet member and should be living in civilian housing.
Markwayne Mullin was confirmed as the new homeland security secretary on March 23, over a month ago, and Noem was ousted before that.
Admiral Kevin Lunday, the current Coast Guard commandant, plans to move into the home Noem occupies very soon, according to sources close to the situation.
Corey Lewandowski, Noem’s former aide and alleged affair partner, has been seen at the home multiple times, including as recently as this month. Neither Noem nor the Department of Homeland Security has commented on the situation.
