Joseph Guy, the former Department of Homeland Security deputy chief of staff, wiped the FEMA-related group chats on his last day in the Trump administration, as the Daily Beast\u2019s sister investigations Substack first reported. His lawyers at Binnall Law Group told PunchUp that Guy had reinstalled the Signal app on his phone in March, which \u201cinadvertently caused the loss of some messages.\u201d That was, they stressed, \u201clong before the court ordered his deposition.\u201d But the timeline is murky. The spokesperson could not say on what specific date Guy claimed to have deleted Signal and lost the messages, including whether it happened before or after Noem\u2019s March 5 firing. Then, in April, they said, Guy reinstalled the app again, this time in an unsuccessful bid to recover the very messages the first reinstall had wiped. The account raised more questions than it answered. The spokesperson did not address why Guy was using Signal for work on his personal phone despite a DHS order not to do so. Nor did the story square neatly with the version Guy gave under oath at his May 4 deposition, where his account\u2014set out in a preservation order from Judge Susan Illston\u2014was that the messages vanished on April 30 or May 1, his final days on the federal payroll. Illston said she was \u201cseriously troubled by these allegations of spoliation.\u201d The lawyers insisted: \u201cMr. Guy never intentionally deleted the messages at issue.\u201d The deletions came as Noem, 54\u2014nicknamed \u201cICE Barbie\u201d for her love of dolling up for filmed immigration raids\u2014and her chief adviser, Lewandowski, 52, were engulfed in a fast-spreading scandal over how contracts were awarded on their watch. There is no suggestion that Noem and Lewandowski knew about Guy\u2019s deletions. Binnall Law Group, which now employs Guy in its public affairs arm, emphatically denied that Guy discussed deleting messages with Noem, Lewandowski, or anyone linked to them. \u201cAny assertion to the contrary is a lie,\u201d the spokesperson said. Noem and Lewandowski did not respond to requests for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3145\">Warmonger Trump, 80, Rages at Peace Prize Snub While Confusing Actual Winner for a Man<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i>Tom Latchem exposes the secrets, scandals, and stories that powerful people and institutions want to keep under wraps.
