Kristi Noem continues to live in military housing after being fired: report

  • The residence is typically designated for Coast Guard officials, and the current commandant, Admiral Kevin Lunday, plans to move into the house Noem is occupying "imminently."
  • Noem moved onto the military base after protesters and paparazzi discovered her private residence's address while she oversaw the Trump administration’s anti-immigration crackdown.
  • Her top aide, Corey Lewandowski, has also been seen at the home, and both have denied accusations of an extramarital affair.
