Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood brought up the request for a new jet for Noem during a Wednesday hearing of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.
“I was horrified last Friday when we received a last-minute addition to your spend plan for Fiscal ‘25 — a new $50 million Gulfstream V for Secretary Noem’s personal travel coming from the Coast Guard budget,” Underwood stated in a session with acting Coast Guard Chief Admiral Kevin Lunday.
