Trump WASN'T PISSED at NOEM for LYING about Pretti OR his DEATH. He was pissed because she "made him look bad." [View all]

Trump privately fumed at the TV coverage of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after the latest shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis, according to one CNN reporter.

Over the weekend, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot and killed by a swarm of immigration agents during a protest in Minneapolis. Pretti was the second U.S. citizen killed by federal officers following Trump's surge of officers in the city. The killings have sparked bipartisan scrutiny of the Trump administration's immigration regime and of Noem, who is facing calls to be impeached or fired.

CNN reporter Kristen Holmes revealed on "The Arena" on Tuesday that Trump was angry with Noem's public statements about Pretti's killing because they made the administration "look bad."

"Trump was agitated watching the coverage, specifically watching Secretary Noem and Bovino go up there and what he believed was they made the administration look bad," Holmes said. "Their talking points around the events that unfolded, the shooting of Alex Pretti, particularly noting that some of the things that they were saying just didn't match up with the video."
