Kelly suggested Noem likely knew about her husband's kink, which could help explain rumors of Noem's own alleged affair with top aide Corey Lewandowski.

Why it matters

The revelations about Bryon Noem's secret life could pose national security risks, as experts say his behavior could have made him vulnerable to blackmail given his wife's high-level government position. The story also raises questions about the state of the Noems' marriage and Kristi Noem's own alleged infidelity.
