A new book by Jonathan Karl reveals that Donald Trump selected Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security as a favor to her alleged lover, Corey Lewandowski. According to the book, Noem was not initially considered for the role, but Trump made the decision after Lewandowski, a longtime adviser, requested it. The revelation has sparked criticism from within Trump's circle, with some questioning Noem's qualifications and raising concerns about Lewandowski's influence and security clearance. Both Noem and Lewandowski have denied reports of an affair, but the controversy has drawn renewed attention to the internal dynamics and decision-making within Trump's administration.
