GOP governor and previous DHS chief Kristi Noem said she will divorce husband Bryon Noem. The announcement comes after reports that Bryon Noem was cross-dressing. Noem’s mother said she plans to end the marriage. On July 10, two advisors at NovaRed metal firm quit, pointing to Kristi Noem’s DHS record as the cause. The resignations came after the separation news and put pressure on the firm’s executive team. The firm’s board said the departures will not affect ongoing operations. Noem remains governor of South Dakota and is expected to stay in office.
