Let me just confirm with you. This is not an April Fool's joke.

Chrissy Homes husband was reportedly sending photos of himself with balloon breast stuffed in a shirt to women in something called the bimboification community. A sexual scene where usually people pump large amounts of saline into their breasts to look like human barbies. He was using a fake name, setting at least $25,000 to online sex workers during the 14 months at his wife ran the Department of Homeland Security, and you have national security experts saying that the whole thing it left her vulnerable to blackmail by hostile intelligence

services. Oh, and he also apparently knew about her alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski, with the Daily Mail breaking all of this yesterday. They reportedly reviewed messages between Brian Nome and three women from the bimboification scene with Brian using the pseudonym Jason Jackson. One of the models that he contacted or reported that his fetish was 3,000 cc plus boobs. He reportedly traded photos with these women. He sent at least $25,000 online and according to reports, he admitted to being married with kids. Only one model that he loved his wife and wanted to, quote, get better and then would disappear, only to come back and start the cycle over again. And when one model figured out who he and his wife actually were and asked him about the rest, she says that he didn't care. But that's also where this stops being a tabloid story and it becomes a national security one. Because reports say that if payments to these women were delayed, they would quickly turn sour. At one point, someone actually exposed him online before later deleting the post. And that is exactly the kind of leverage that could be used to compromise the head of Homeland Security had Jack Barski, a former US counterintelligence asset saying, it's astounding that somebody whose spouse is at that level has that kind of bad judgment. Also, you had other national security experts saying, if a media organization can find this out, you can assume with a high degree of confidence that a hostile intelligence service knows this as well. And while Brian Nome didn't deny having explicit conversations or sharing photos of himself,

he did deny making any comments

that could have exposed his wife to blackmail.

But that denial it doesn't really hold up well

because one of the models also claimed

that he talked about his wife's alleged affair

with Corey Lewandowski, Trump's former campaign manager.

She claimed that Brian knew about it

but said that there was nothing that he could do

and this isn't a new allegation. Noam was even asked about it directly during a recent congressional hearing.

Have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

Mr. Chairman, I am shocked that we're going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today.

Reclaiming my time.

And ma'am, one thing that I would tell you is that he is a special government employee who works for the White House. There are thousands of them in the federal government. So reclaiming my time, Secretary, it is okay for you to... And as we talked about then, that response was very specific. Right, under oath, no never outright denied the allegations. But also despite the rumors, she and Lewandowski had still been seen together publicly, including during a recent trip to Guyana. Now, as far as the reactions to this online,

it kind of became the joke of the day on the internet. But you also at the New York Times talking to people in Noam's hometown of Castlewood, South Dakota, and they found something that was more complicated. Brian Noam's apparently a very well-like guy there, the quintessential small town guy, who runs an insurance agency, it advertises in the local paper every week.

And one of the things you saw was that people who knew him,

they had a hard time believing that any of this was real with one person telling the Times must be AI. I grew up playing ball with Brian. I've never known him to be part of stuff like that, saying I don't believe that at all. But with that you had the Daily Mail saying they ran the photos through specialist software that found no evidence of AI manipulation. Also, as far as other reactions, you had former Senator Nancy Turbach saying,

I am sorry that Brian is now the subject

of so much attention himself and for any embarrassment he's experiencing. And adding, he never asked for the public life in the first place and I know him to be a kind and decent man. Then, as far as Christie known being a focal point, she got a lot less sympathy from the community with people saying, Christy invited this type of coverage by her actions of the Department of Homeland Security. And her representative said that the family was blindsided by this and they asked for privacy and prayers at this time. But really, here's what I'll say with this situation, right? This is, it's easy for people to laugh at and people are, we're seeing that. But underneath the jokes, there is a real national security concern that shouldn't be dismissed. You're seeing people know that last year, Trump's team halted FBI background checks, making it easier for people to slip by the Senate to get security clearances and access to sensitive information. The person that was running the Department of Homeland Security, agency, overseeing ICE, CBP, TSA, FEMA, and the Secret Service had a spouse that was engaged in activity that national security professionals have said made her an obvious blackmail target. And if a reporter at the Daily Mail can find it, a foreign intelligence service absolutely can. And unlike a reporter, an intelligence service, it doesn't publish the story. They use it as leverage. So the biggest question isn't whether Brian Nome's personal life is anyone's business. One of the biggest questions is whether this kind of vulnerability in the spouse of a cabinet secretary was ever flagged, ever investigated, or ever even considered a risk by anyone that's responsible for protecting the integrity of U.S. national security. Because if it wasn't, that's a failure that goes well beyond one man's fetish. With all this, I will say, it's not just foreign adversaries that politicians are worried about right now. Because you have TMZ right now tracking members of Congress while they're on vacation, and you have many saying, honestly, someone had to.

Because the DHS shutdown, it's... that politicians are worried about right now. Because you have TMZ right now tracking members of Congress while they're on vacation,
