So it's true, then.

As rumors fly about an affair between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and adviser Corey Lewandowski, a new report alleges the pair have been traveling together in a luxury jet fitted with a private cabin, ostensibly meant for “high-profile deportations.”

Reports of the pair’s romantic relationship initially took off in the tabloids. Then in a New York magazine exposé published in September, one FEMA official called it the “worst-kept secret in D.C.”

Noem, 54, and Lewandowski, 52, are both married with children.

The two have denied the rumors, which have hounded them for years.

Recently, the two have been traveling across the country in a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, people familiar with the matter told the Journal. Official documents reviewed by the newspaper show that the luxury plane, which staff jokingly call Noem’s “big, beautiful jet,” is earmarked for “high-profile deportations.”

Noem has had a turbulent history with planes during Trump’s second term.

Last year, she reportedly authorized the purchase of 10 Spirit Airline planes before realizing that the airline didn’t actually own the planes, and they also had no engines. In October, despite the then-ongoing government shutdown, the Trump administration bought two Gulfstream G700 jets for $172 million to be used by Noem and other leaders.

According to the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal’s report on what it called “constant chaos” within Noem’s department, President Donald Trump and his top advisers have long been uncomfortable with the pair’s relationship. Although Lewandowski wanted to serve as Noem’s chief of staff, Trump said no because of the affair rumors, according to the Journal. Officials told the newspaper that Trump continues to bring up the alleged affair.

Maybe now is a good time for him to fire Noem for her handling of DHS.

Definitely time to impeach Noem (and Trump).
