Department of Homeland Security leader Markwayne Mullin is desperately trying to get his wife, Christie Mullin, hired onto DHS's payroll, four insiders have told the Daily Mail.
Mullin, 48, is accused of trying to obtain government employee status for his wife, 47, so that he does not have to pay for her airline ticket when she flies, according to sources familiar with DHS and ICE.
The secretary frequently travels on his $70 million government jet to fly home to his family in Oklahoma, often leaving on Thursday mornings and not returning until the following Monday afternoon, multiple DHS insiders said.
Mullin even flew from a Washington, DC, airport just hours after the attempt on President Donald Trump's life at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April, despite heightened security concerns.
'Mullin seems to think DHS requires less work than a senator, and it shows. Meanwhile, ICE has no direction,' one source told the Daily Mail.
Three people with direct knowledge also revealed that Mullin is reportedly inquiring about a Special Government Employee (SGE) designation, or contracting role, for his spouse. As an SGE, his wife could work for the federal government as a temporary employee, advisor, or consultant, serving up to 130 days a year. The role would be hourly, according to people familiar with the role, around $65 to $70 an hour.
'He pitches the idea on the regular,' another source familiar with conversations about his wife explains. 'While Mullin is busy trying to recruit his wife to DHS, ICE facilities are being overrun by leftist mobs, enraging the base ahead of midterms.' Mullin is facing a fierce internal mutiny from tight-lipped staff who claim he is completely 'checked out' from the high-stakes role he has only been in for roughly two months.

The left can’t stand successful Republicans can they? So what if Mullins wanted employee status for his wife. Look at people like Pelosi who used tax payer money to travel all the time! They all do!
“four insiders have told the Daily Mail”
With all due respect I’ll wait for this to come out from a more respectable source
‘He pitches the idea on the regular,’ another source familiar with conversations about his wife explains.
“on the regular”?
Americans don’t speak like that.
Interesting that this appears in a UK publication.
I’m sure this “source familiar with coversations” must be completely real and legitimate. /s

“often leaving on Thursday mornings and not returning until the following Monday afternoon”
That means working Tuesday & Wednesday.
Daily Hit Piece
Omygosh. NO! If this is true. Does he still own his plumbing business?
What a nice family photo!
Everything else in this article could be called
‘Inside Baseball’ or Nothingburgers.
“That means working Tuesday & Wednesday.”
Being out od D.C. doesn’t mean he is not working.
I don’t trust the Daily Smell but this does sound like something a politician would do.
At two days a week I guess he’s working harder than any other Republican senator recently has.
“Being out of D.C. doesn’t mean he is not working.”
Being out of DC to spend time with his family suggests that.
If he was toiling away late Thursday and early Friday he could do that in DC.
It's a very common Gen-Z phrase, though it's often shortened to "on the reg" or "on the regs."
Thank you for posting an obviously fraudulent story. This is the kind of stuff people think is real, when it isn’t.
Surely, he would like his wife working for the government. Many spouses do both work for government. Notice he is in charge of DHS and is not approving her. Of course he is looking for a legitimate way to optimize this, while Democrats just fraudulently approve the monies with no actual job. He’s staying legit.
As another poster called out, the Daily Mail is using unnamed British sources as justification, with zero actual US sources. “’He pitches the idea on the regular,’” is not an American phase.
If the guy is traveling to Pebble Beach to golf that is one thing but if he is traveling to places like Gitmo to do things like check progress on detainment facility upgrades that is another. thing entirely
“Four insiders”. Unnamed. Uh-huh. Got it.
Some left-wing rag prints a hatchet job, and because there are alleged [unnamed] “insiders”, well by God it’s TRUE! (In their minds, anyway).
There’s six (or seven) kids.
Are the kiddies to be left to themselves in Oklahoma when Mommy & Daddy are in DC?
He called the killer of Babbitt a hero.
