Kristi Noem is out, but her new, expensive government jet stays

 Maybe she is out, because she did not want to share this jet? Just kidding!

"The White House is hanging onto the controversial $70 million jet Kristi Noem leased during her tenure as DHS secretary, according to a department spokeswoman and other officials familiar with the matter.

 The administration plans to use the plane, which is nicer than most other government jets, for travel by select cabinet secretaries and Melania Trump, some of the officials said. The White House referred a request for comment to DHS. Trump fired Noem last month. Some administration officials and outside supporters have questioned using ICE money—bolstered for Trump’s promised mass deportation—for a plane that isn’t going to be used for immigration enforcement."
