Kristi Noem claims staff planted spyware on her phone and laptop to record meetings; says criminals were ‘brought in, polygraphed, fired’

secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem Alleges her employees planted spyware on her phone and laptop to spy on her and record meetings. According to Rawstory, Noem thanked tech billionaire Elon Musk and his team for identifying the spyware on her phone and laptop during an hour-long podcast with MAGA celebrity Patrick Bet-David.

“I tell you, Patrick, Elon and his team have been very helpful to me from the moment I came into this office,” she said. “They helped me discover that some employees in my department had downloaded software on my phone and laptop to spy on me and record our meetings.”Noem claims staff spied on multiple political appointees before she took action.“They’ve already done this to some politicians,” she added. “So we ended up bringing people in, and if we didn’t have the technology experts in the department to go through all our laptops and phones and identify this type of software, this would still be happening today.”Criminals “are brought in, given polygraph tests, and then fired,” Noem said. She also said her office needed to regularly clean out listening equipment and discovered a secret archive that contained confidential documents now in the hands of lawyers.
