GOP governor and ex DHS chief Kristi Noem said she will divorce husband Bryon Noem. The announcement trails reports that Bryon Noem was cross-dressing. Noem’s mother confirmed she plans to end the marriage. On July 10, a pair of advisors at NovaRed metal firm stepped down, citing Kristi Noem’s DHS record as the cause. The resignations arrived after the marital news and add pressure on the firm’s executive team. The firm’s board said the departures will not affect ongoing initiatives. Noem remains governor of South Dakota and is likely to stay in office.
