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.

“his $70 million government jet”
Not his jet. Available to cabinet members and first lady.
:...so that he does not have to pay for her airline ticket when she flies...”
That’s the best they can come up with? Pathetic.
Okay, while I don’t regularly have conversations with Gen-Z, I haven’t heard that. I’ll take your word for it.
So does that mean a Gen-Z individual is the source?
They regularly (on the reg, heh) speak with his wife?
Not saying it wouldn’t be a reliable source. I just question the veracity of the sources.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this whole accusation is true. I’m too old to be shocked by any DC critters, or politicians in general, wanting their spouses to get hooked up with a gig and special privileges.
He has been confirmed for two months. How many trips home on the $70 million jet has he made?
interesting. the kids all look like they’re with in 3-4 years if each other?
I agree.
PlumberGuy who wants to be a Rhinestone Cowboy should stay home and take care of the kidz.
Put Stephen Miller in charge of DHS.
Markwayne Mullin owns a 1967 Shelby Cobra, a 1972 Chevy C-10, and a 2021 Shelby GT 500.
The man is innocent and bonafide.
Her taxpayer-paid booze bill probably surpassed the fuel for the jet.
Unnamed sources = pure lies.
I care more about the fact that Mullin bro-hugged Michael Byrd after he murdered Ashli Babbitt, than this hit piece. Guy’s a douchebag.
I don’t see any evidence that he actually did get any of these perks, and no one making the accusation has the balls to come forward to his boss, so all I see here is election politics or petty jealousy on the part of the person making the claim- no supporting evidence thus far of wrongdoing.
I dont get it, this mud snail praised the thug who killed Ashley Babbit and said the Jan 6 prisoners should rot in jail. Yet, there he is head of DHS.
🙄
“With all due respect I’ll wait for this to come out from a more respectable source”
With all due respect I’ll wait for this to come out from a respectable source
There, I fixed it for you.
” four insiders have told” ...
“one source told “ ...
“Three people with direct knowledge “
“another source familiar with conversations”
And y’all just slurp up this unattributed, anonymous, fabricated bullstuff ...
“life of luxury”
He’s worth 66 million dollars. He can live whatever type of life that he wants to, but I seriously doubt that he lives a “life of luxury”
“There’s six (or seven) kids.
Are the kiddies to be left to themselves in Oklahoma when Mommy & Daddy are in DC?”
Cut the nasty crap posts. You’ve probably intentionally swallowed the kool aid regarding this hit piece.
Huzzah!
A surprising number of folks on this thread recognize BS when they smell it!
Who is the extra one in the picture then? I count 7 other than husband and wife in the picture.
