<\/p>\n Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem transported by ambulance to DC-area hospital, sources say<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUnder my leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, there will be no political bias to how disaster relief is delivered to the American people if President Trump were to say to you. We’re going to withhold money from Connecticut. Or Michigan or any of the states, Iowa. Because we don’t like the governor or we don’t like the politics of the state, you would stand up to him and say, Mr. President, We need to allocate that money. Senator, in 3 days, President Trump will take an oath to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law in this country, and And he will do that and I’ll be glad to have him back. I don’t see, I don’t speak to hypotheticals, uh, which is what you’re asking me to do, but what I will tell you is that as secretary, I will do the same. I will deliver the programs as the laws in *** hypothetical with all due respect, and I apologize for interrupting you, but my time is limited, as you know as *** *** veteran of these hearings. It’s more than *** hypothetical, it’s based on experience with President Trump withholding money from Washington State and elsewhere. I need to know from you, will you stand up to the president and say, no, the Constitution and the Impoundment Act requires us, for example, to allocate the $100 billion that we have just appropriated in the last session to. States like Connecticut, $3 million. Texas, $10 million. Almost every one of the states represented here. Will you say no to the president if he withholds that money? Sir, I don’t know about the scenarios that you’re referencing with President Trump, but what I will tell you is that if given the chance to be Secretary of Homeland Security, that I will deliver the programs according to the law and that it will be done with no political bias. And if the programs uh change or if you decide to change the rule of law, then I will follow that while adhering to the constitution allocate. And distribute that $100 billion. According to how the program is written with no political bias, every American deserves to be there and have disaster relief the same as their neighbors.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem transported by ambulance to DC-area hospital, sources say<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n
