00:00White House goes ballistic over reports Donald Trump is preparing to fire Kristi Noem, most
00:05talented cabinet in American history.
00:08The White House denied reports that Donald Trump plans to fire cabinet members, pushing
00:13back on claims of staff frustration over DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's alleged affair
00:17with Corey Lewandowski, whom she hired as her chief advisor.
00:21Despite speculation about major cabinet changes as Trump nears one year into his second term,
00:27the White House dismissed the rumors.
00:29President Trump has assembled the most talented and capable cabinet in American history,
00:34spokesperson Abigail Jackson told the Daily Beast, calling the reports fake news.
00:40The alleged fake news report centered on Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel and Defense Secretary
00:46Pete Hegseth.
00:48Several outlets questioned whether Noem might be fired, and a FEMA official even called
00:52her rumored affair DC's worst-kept secret.
00:56The White House also addressed an MSNOW report claiming Stephen Miller wanted Noem removed,
01:01posting on its rapid response X account.
01:04More fake news nonsense from MSDNC.
01:07Kristi and Stephen get along great, as evidenced by the swift closing of the border and the
01:12fewest number of illegal border crossings in modern history.
01:15The Post directly responded to reporter Jake Traylor's claim that Trump was
01:19weighing Noem's ouster at Homeland Security, and that Stephen Miller is leading the charge.
01:24White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt also pushed back on fake news, claims that Kash Patel was at
01:31risk of being fired, calling the reports completely made up.
01:34She shared a photo of Trump and Patel giving a thumbs up in the Oval Office, adding on X.
01:39When this fake news was published, I was in the Oval Office, where President Trump was meeting with
01:45his law enforcement team, including FBI Director Kash Patel. I read the headline to the President,
01:51and he laughed. According to Leavitt, Trump responded,
01:54What? That's totally false. Come on, Kash. Let's take a picture to show them you're doing a great job.
