Kristi Noem Discusses Corruption and Spyware Allegations in DHS
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has had its share of challenges, particularly in deporting illegal aliens, but it seems resistance remains, both on the streets and from within the agency itself.
During a recent interview with podcaster Patrick Bett-David, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem addressed serious issues plaguing the department and spoke about the allies who are assisting her in tackling corruption allegations. She mentioned, “They helped me identify that several employees in my department had downloaded software onto my cell phone and laptop to monitor me.”
“You wouldn’t believe what I’ve discovered since I’ve been in this department,” Noem shared on the “PBD Podcast,” detailing a startling find: “Just the other day, we found an entire room on this campus that was a secret SCIF (secure facility) with files that no one knew existed.” She recounted how they happened upon it, with an employee entering the room and asking questions, leading to the uncovering of some sensitive information nobody was aware of.
Noem stated, “Right now I’m turning it over to my lawyer to figure out exactly what happened there.” She further claimed that her devices had been compromised, but thanks to Elon Musk’s technology team, the software that invaded her privacy was identified.
“Elon and his team were very helpful to me,” she noted. “They helped me identify that some of the employees in my department had downloaded software on my cell phone and laptop to monitor me and record meetings.” This revelation led Bett-David to express disbelief, stating, “I can’t believe it.”
Noem highlighted that without Musk and his team, the spyware could still be lurking on her devices. Therefore, she emphasized the importance of partnering with technology companies and experts to provide ongoing assistance.
“Before people talked about the deep state, I believed it existed. I never dreamed it could be this bad,” she concluded.
