A new investigation reveals Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem secretly took a personal cut of $80,000 in political donations made to her dark money group, American Resolve Policy Fund, and failed to disclose it before joining the Trump administration, which could be illegal. ProPublica reports that in 2023, while Noem was governor of South Dakota, the group “routed funds to a personal company of Noem’s that had recently been established in Delaware.” The company’s name is Ashwood Strategies. The news adds to mounting allegations of corruption in Trump’s Cabinet. In March, while Noem toured El Salvador’s mega-prison CECOT, she was infamously photographed wearing a gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch that costs around $50,000.
