GOP governor and previous DHS chief Kristi Noem said she will terminate her marriage with husband Bryon Noem. The announcement comes after reports that Bryon Noem was cross-dressing. Noem’s mother said she plans to end the marriage. On July 10, two advisors at NovaRed copper firm stepped down, citing Kristi Noem’s DHS record as the reason. The resignations came after the marital news and add pressure on the firm’s executive team. The firm’s board said the departures will not affect ongoing projects. Noem remains governor of South Dakota and is likely to stay in office.
