Kristi Noem has iced out one of her top officials from preparations for her Senate Judiciary Committee grilling over fears he would refuse to use her preferred narrative, the Daily Beast has learned.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, 54, is due to testify Tuesday about the fatal January shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, both 37.
But instead of leaning on the head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency that oversees the Border Patrol agents who fired the shots that killed VA ICU nurse Pretti, Noem has excluded him from providing briefing materials, according to two DHS insiders.
