Nancy Mace of South Carolina said she plans too investigate outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for potential misuse of taxpayer funds. Mace expressed support for President Trump\u2019s decision to fire Noem, telling Newsmax she trusts Trump\u2019s judgment. She also questioned whether Corey lewandowski, Trump\u2019s former campaign manager, would be involved and where he might be headed, noting Lewandowski\u2019s close ties to Trump and his prior role as Noem\u2019s adviser.<\/p>\n<p>the piece cites a Mediate report that Noem had sought Lewandowski as her chief of staff, a move Trump blocked amid rumors of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/say-what-leftists-ignoring-science\/\" title=\"SAY WHAT? Leftists Ignoring Science\">extramarital affair<\/a>. In a Newsmax interview, Mace praised sen. John Kennedy for tough questioning of Noem and criticized the hundreds of millions of dollars Noem allegedly spent on personal PR ads that had little to do with deporting undocumented migrants. The article also mentions a video embed of Mace discussing the matter and quotes her saying she supports subpoenaing noem through the House Oversight committee.<\/p>\n<p>Mace argues that Republicans must hold their own accountable to restore trust in institutions and support Trump\u2019s efforts to re-establish confidence in government.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Republican Rep.
