Bryon did not dispute sending the crossdressing photos or engaging in explicit conversations. However, he dismissed claims that his actions could have endangered national security by making his wife susceptible to blackmail during her tenure as the DHS secretary.
Kristi’s spokesperson revealed she was “devastated” by her husband’s fetish activities, stating that the “family was blindsided by this.”
The couple, who wed in 1992, have three adult children: daughters Kassidy, 31, Kennedy, 29, and a son, Booker, 23.
Questions have arisen about the couple’s marriage amid allegations that Kristi, the former South Dakota governor, was involved in an affair with her top DHS aide, Corey Lewandowski.
On March 5, Kristi was dismissed by Trump, following a challenging Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. During the hearing, she asserted that the president had approved a $220 million ad campaign. Senator John Kennedy questioned Kristi about the ad expenses, later stating that Trump was “not a happy camper” upon learning she had attributed the financial authorization to him.
