'An incredible a mount of money': GOP lawmakers stunned by Kristi Noem travel bills

Prior to becoming Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security secretary, former South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) was busy gallivanting around the country in an attempt to raise her political profile with multiple trips to Mar-a-Lago and another to Paris to give a speech -- on the taxpayer's dime.

According to a report from the Associated Press, a lawsuit by The Dakota Scout uncovered details about Noem's travel expenses that also included bear hunting trip with her niece courtesy of South Dakota's taxpayers.
