“Kristi Noem is out as Homeland Security Secretary, but a luxury 737 she has traveled on remains in government hands. That plane, reportedly dubbed the ‘Big, Beautiful Jet’ by DHS staffers, has been quietly leased to the department by a company linked to William Walters, a former State Department official who donated thousands of dollars to a pro-Noem political action committee. Walters owns a constellation of businesses that — despite a dearth of prior experience working for the government — won lucrative contracts with Noem’s DHS over the past year.” (03/10/26)
