Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has agreed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next month, but she's already drawing battle lines with Republican Chairman Chuck Grassley over how long Democrats will get to grandstand and attack her during the hearing.

According to exclusive reporting from the Washington Examiner, Noem is willing to appear but wanted to limit questioning to just one five-minute round – a proposal that Grassley firmly rejected. "She's willing to come, but she wanted to limit it to one five-minute round, and we won't [accept that]," sources revealed.

Senator Grassley told reporters that while "the date isn't a problem right now -- the length of questioning is a problem," highlighting the ongoing negotiations between the Iowa Republican and Trump's border security chief.

"EXCLUSIVE — Homeland Security @Sec_Noem has tentatively agreed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in February but is at a crossroads with Sen. @ChuckGrassley over the length of her testimony," the Washington Examiner reported on social media.

But here's what's really going on, Patriots: This isn't about accountability – it's about giving radical Democrats another platform to attack Trump's America First agenda. The same Democrats who spent four years undermining border security now want to drag Noem through a political circus.

Conservative voices are already calling out the hypocrisy. One social media user pointed out the real issue: "Insurrectionist Democrat Jamie Raskin wants Kristi Noem to testify before the House Judiciary Committee to be held accountable. I want him to testify before that committee about his role in the J6 Select Committee destroying evidence of the J6 Insurrection hoax!"

Noem has been leading Trump's historic deportation efforts and securing our border – exactly what Americans voted for. Now Democrats want to waste taxpayer time and money on another witch hunt hearing instead of supporting the administration's efforts to fix the immigration disaster they created.

The question is: Will Republicans stand with Noem and limit this Democrat fishing expedition, or cave to the swamp's demands for another political show trial? Patriots are watching.

Grassley knows the game - he's been in the Senate long enough to see through their tactics. The Dems are just mad they lost and want to obstruct everything Trump tries to do.

Exactly! Same playbook as 2016-2020. They never learn.

Can someone explain what specific testimony they're trying to limit? I want to make sure I understand the full situation before the confirmation vote.

Thank God for Grassley standing up to these Democrat witch hunts! They've been going after every single Republican nominee with these sham hearings. Noem is exactly what we need at DHS.

Absolutely right! They did the same thing to Kavanaugh and look how that turned out.
