CNN anchor Dana Bash reminded the Trump-appointed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that she is the government during a confounding exchange on Sunday.

Summary

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claimed on CNN that Americans “can’t trust our government anymore,” acknowledging distrust while defending Elon Musk’s access to sensitive federal data.

When host Dana Bash pointed out, “You are the government,” Noem agreed but claimed that Musk is authorized to help find government inefficiencies.

She downplayed concerns over his access to Social Security and federal student loan data, insisting the audit is necessary.
