Bryon Noem was found to have dressed up in women’s clothing, often with large fake breasts, while reportedly paying to interact with models dressed up like so-called bimbos, the Daily Mail reported.

The report prompted reps for Noem, the recently fired homeland security secretary who was demoted to special envoy for the newly created “Shield of the Americas,” to issue a statement to the New York Post saying she was “devastated” and her family was “blindsided.”

Trump, for his part, was “shocked,” the Daily Mail wrote, and gave a relatively tame response by phone.

“They confirmed it?” he said to the tabloid. “Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that’s the case. That’s too bad.”

“I haven’t seen anything,” the president continued. “I don’t know anything about it. That’s too bad, but I just know nothing about it.”

Bryon Noem’s alleged online activities were said to have made Kristi Noem vulnerable to blackmail. Byron Noem did not deny the online conversations or photos, the Daily Mail reported.

The tabloid wrote that Trump “did not respond directly” to a question about Noem’s alleged affair with former adviser Corey Lewandowski.

President Donald Trump said he felt badly for the family of Kristi and Bryon Noem after tabloid reports about online behavior of Bryan Noem.
