Скачать или смотреть Who is Markwayne Mullin? Trump Replaces Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary

President Donald Trump has selected Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

The decision comes after reported tensions between Trump and Noem following her testimony before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee about a $220 million DHS advertising campaign. According to a report from National Review, the president was frustrated after Noem suggested Trump had advance knowledge of the campaign before the contract was finalized.

Mullin is expected to begin serving as acting DHS Secretary on March 31 but will still need confirmation from the U.S. Senate. The Oklahoma Republican previously served five terms in the U.S. House and has been known as a strong supporter of President Trump.

Before the announcement, Mullin told reporters he had not recently spoken with the president and declined to speculate about joining the Cabinet, saying he was focused on his work in the Senate.

Watch for the latest details on this developing political story.
