一家与国土安全部长Kristi Noem有联系的共和党咨询公司通过一家空壳公司秘密接收了价值2.2亿美元的联邦广告活动的一部分,绕过标准投标,引起道德关切。 A Republican consulting firm linked to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem secretly received part of a $220 million federal ad campaign through a shell company, bypassing standard bidding and raising ethics concerns. 战略小组与Noem及其助手有关,没有公开列为受援者。 The Strategy Group, tied to Noem and her aides, was not publicly listed as a recipient. 这项运动是在国家紧急状态下政府关闭期间发起的,它引起了对潜在利益冲突和缺乏透明度的审查。 The campaign, launched during a government shutdown under a national emergency, has drawn scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and lack of transparency. Noem的办公室否认参与分包商的选择,但批评者说这种模式 — — 包括以前的州合同和向助理兵付款 — — 由国土安全部监察长和国会进行调查。 Noem’s office denied involvement in subcontractor selection, but critics say the pattern— including prior state contracts and payments to aides—warrants investigation by the DHS inspector general and Congress.
