A past social media post by former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary Kristi Noem praising her husband, Bryon Noem, has resurfaced online amid a growing political controversy surrounding her firing from the Trump administration and allegations of an affair with top aide Corey Lewandowski.
This comes after there is a growing speculation and reports that claim President Donald Trump fired Noem over her testimony on Wednesday about whether she had an affair with Lewandowski.
During the hearing, Noem dismissed claims that she had an affair with Lewandowski as 'tabloid garbage'. However, according to the New York Post, her comment about the affair was the 'final straw' for Trump.
The Father's Day tribute, written by Noem months earlier, highlighted her family life and praised Bryon Noem for supporting her despite his dislike of horseback riding.
Noem, who previously served as governor of South Dakota before entering the Trump administration, has not responded in depth to the increasing examination of her personal life.
The controversy surrounding Noem's firing from the Trump administration has been ongoing, with widespread condemnation of DHS following the shooting deaths of two American citizens by federal agents during immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis earlier this year.
