前美国国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆被指控发布了一份未经授权的国务院新闻稿，并使用伪造的部门抬头来解释她作为唐纳德·特朗普总统“美洲盾牌”倡议特使离职的原因。
诺姆于10月16日在X平台上发布声明，称她的特使职位一直预定为为期六个月的任命，并表示她将留在国务院担任高级顾问。然而，熟悉她职务的人士告诉《政治报》（Politico），该声明并未得到部门领导层的授权。
Former US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been accused of posting an unauthorised State Department press release using fabricated department letterhead to explain her departure as President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative.
据X平台上的一条帖子称，一位知情人士告诉《政治报》：“这不是国务院发布的新闻稿。诺姆擅自行动，制作了假抬头发布在X上。”哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS News）记者也援引一名国务院官员的话证实，诺姆在其官方特使账号和个人X账号上发布的声明使用了伪造的部门抬头，并非经授权的新闻稿。美国议员在法院下令恢复多样性签证抽签后提出法案废除该项目诺姆的特使任命已到期这场争议是在确认诺姆不再担任政府“美洲盾牌”特使之后出现的，该区域性倡议侧重于与拉丁美洲和加勒比国家的安全合作。
Noem shared a statement on X on October 16, saying her special envoy position had always been intended as a six-month appointment and that she would remain at the State Department as a senior adviser. However, people familiar with her role told Politico that the statement had not been authorized by department leadership.“This was not a press release put out by the State Department. Noem went rogue and created a fake letterhead to post on X,” one person familiar with the matter told Politico, according to a post on X. CBS News reporter also cited a State Department official as confirming that the statement Noem posted on her official envoy account and personal X account used fabricated department letterhead and was not an authorized press release.US lawmaker introduces bill to scrap Diversity Visa Lottery after court orders reinstatementNoem’s envoy appointment had expiredThe controversy follows confirmation that Noem was no longer serving as the administration’s special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, a regional initiative focused on security cooperation with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.A State Department official told CBS News that Noem’s envoy status had expired in September and that she was now a senior adviser to Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.
一名国务院官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司，诺姆的特使身份已于9月到期，她现在是国务院副部长克里斯托弗·兰道的高级顾问。该官员表示，她将继续负责该倡议的相关事务。
She would continue working on the initiative’s portfolio, the official said.
诺姆于3月被任命为特使，此前特朗普将她从国土安全部部长职位上撤下，并提名俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·马林接替她。
Noem was appointed special envoy in March after Trump removed her as Homeland Security secretary and selected Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to replace her.

据美联社报道，这项耗资2.2亿美元的广告活动成为国会审视其任期期间的主要争议点。最新的争议集中在诺姆是否将一份未经授权的声明作为国务院的官方通讯发布。
The $220 million campaign became a major point of contention during congressional scrutiny of her tenure, according to The Associated Press. The latest controversy centers on whether Noem presented an unauthorized statement as an official State Department communication.
