Secretary Kristi Noem fast-tracked disaster relief after campaign donor intervened, ProPublica reports

People who live in areas affected by natural disasters say the federal government is too slow to respond. One reason for that delay is a directive from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requiring her office to individually review any expense over $100,000.
