Mullin claimed that the House sent him on a classified trip that only four people knew about. When Paul and Peters pressed him on which agency classified it, it led to this exchange: MULLIN: It wasn’t an agency. It was done here, well, in the House at the time. PETERS: The House classified it? MULLIN: I’m assuming. Except the House doesn't have that power. All classification authority flows from the president/executive.

Sen. Rand Paul tells us he’s a no vote on Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation to lead DHS. The two have personal drama after Mullin called Paul a snake in the aftermath of a 2017 attack. Here’s what he had to say about his vote:

( @realDonaldTrump - Truth Social Post ) ( Donald J. Trump - Mar 05 2026, 1:41 PM ET ) I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at “Homeland.” Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, and 3 in the Senate, Markwayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful People of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 Counties — in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

The badge and gun story is even worse that it sounds; the WSJ suggests Lewandowski had a senior ICE lawyer sidelined because he refused to break the rules and give him a gun. The kicker? After bullying DHS lawyers into agreeing, Lewandowski used an autopen to sign the doc.

"Efforts to issue Lewandowski a gun stalled after the WSJ and other news organizations inquired about the incident last year, the people said. Still, Lewandowski has been spotted by DHS staff sporting a badge, emblazoned with the words 'Homeland Security.'" wsj.com/politics/polic…

"In an incident last year that rankled some senior staff at the agency, Lewandowski made it known to top ICE officials that he wanted to be issued a law-enforcement badge and a federally issued gun, according to people familiar with his push." wsj.com/politics/polic…
