- Kristi Noem struggled to explain hiring Safe America Media, a company with no website or experience, for a $143 million DHS ad campaign.
- Safe America Media was formed just eight days before winning the no-bid contract and shares an address with a GOP operative's property.
- Subcontractors in federal contracts aren't publicly disclosed, obscuring where taxpayer money went.
- Funds were funneled to Noem's allies, including a firm tied to her ex-spokesperson and alleged beau.
- Rep. Joe Neguse questioned the legitimacy of the contract, citing lack of transparency and conflicts of interest.
