Kristi Noem demands answers after US Government leaks social security numbers of her and family

South Dakota Govenor Kristi Noem is demanding answers on how federal agencies allowed her personal information to become public in the aftermath of record releases from the Jan. 6 committee, as well as how these agencies plan to combat the potential results of this leak.

"My lawyers have asked the @WhiteHouse, the @USNatArchives, and @BennieGThompson which of them is responsible for leaking the Social Security Numbers of me, my husband, my 3 kids, and my son-in-law." Noem tweeted on Friday evening following the leak of her and her loved ones private information. "What specific measures and remedies will be taken to protect our identities?"

JAN. 6 COMMITTEE RELEASES SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS OF TRUMP OFFICIALS AND ALLIES: REPORT

The night before taking the oath of office for her second term, Noem learned that her Social Security number and those of her immediate family were leaked by the Jan. 6 committee.

Among the hundreds of records posted online by the committee laying out the timeline of the events leading up to the storming of the Capitol was "a spreadsheet with nearly 2,000 Social Security numbers associated with visitors to the White House in December 2020." The list included several high-profile Republicans.

That leak included Noem along with her husband, three children and son-in-law, who according to the White House logs visited the outgoing President Donald Trump on Dec. 14, 2020. Noem shared that her visit was in an "official capacity" 

Now, Noem’s legal team has issued a letter demanding more information about how the breach occurred.

"The National Archives produced these visitors logs, which then became exhibits during the January 6 Committee hearing. Prior to being published as exhibits, the law required that Protected Personal Information be redacted from the visitor logs, but that was not done." Noem's legal team, Woods and Fuller, wrote in a letter to the the U.S. Government Publishing Office, The National Archives and Records Administration, and to the Chair of the Jan. 6 Special Committee.

The White House, Government Publishing Office, National Archives and Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, the Democrat chair of the Jan. 6 Committee, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the leak. 

The letter added that Noem's family is "now at a very high risk of identity theft and being personally compromised due to the failure to redact the social security numbers and making the same available to the public."

The letter also argues that the publishing of this information is a violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, and left open the possibility of further action. Noem’s lawyers attached a Jan. 13 deadline for a response from the addressed parties.

The other high-profile individuals include in the public leak are Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R), former Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.

Missing Cohasset woman: Timeline of Ana Walshe's movements before disappearance

There are 72 unaccounted for hours between the time Ana Walshe reportedly left her Massachusetts home and when she was reported missing, with very little details about her whereabouts in between. 

Walshe, 39, of Cohasset, Massachusetts, left her home on Jan. 1, was supposed to get a rideshare to Logan International Airport in Boston and fly to her job in Washington D.C., Cohasset Police Chief William Quigley told reporters.

There's no confirmation that she physically took the rideshare to the airport, but it could've been done off the books, according to the chief. 

Police confirmed she never boarded a flight, and the multi-jurisdiction search continued into the weekend.

Meanwhile, Cohasset detectives headed to D.C. to follow up on potential leads and conduct interviews alongside D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department, Quigley said on Saturday.

MISSING MOM ANA WALSHE'S FORMER MASSACHUSETTS HOME BURNS

Walshe left her Cohasset home "early morning" on New Year's Day - most likely between 4 and 5 a.m. - while her family was sleeping, Quigley said.

There is no video images of her leaving, and security cameras haven't picked up images of her as of Saturday afternoon, according to police.

Her plan was to take a rideshare to the airport for a flight to Washington D.C., where she works for the real estate company Tishman Speyer. Walshe's flight to D.C. was originally booked for Jan. 3, but police said during a press conference earlier this week that she left earlier for "some type of emergency" at work.

There's no evidence that Walshe boarded any flight or made it to the airport, Quigley said this week. 

MASSACHUSETTS MOTHER ANA WALSHE GOES MISSING, LAST SEEN NEW YEAR’S DAY 

Walshe's husband and her employer reported her missing to Cohasset police. 

Walshe's husband, her employer and friends have been cooperative in what Quigely described as a "missing person case" that currently has no evidence of foul play. 

Cohasset police teamed up with outside agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police, to search a wooded area near Walshe's home and set up a staging area along Route 3A.

A two-alarm fire broke out in Walshe's former home at 725 Jerusalem Road in Cohasset. 

All four occupants - three adults and a young child - made it out safely, according to authorities. 

"The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time and remains under investigation by the Office of the State Fire Marshal and Cohasset Police, though it does not appear to be suspicious," police said in a statement on Saturday morning. 

Cohasset police and the Massachusetts State Police resumed their search in multiple quadrants of the wooded area near Walshe's house. 

Investigators were seen going through the Walshe family pool and searching closer to the house, but police didn't provide an official update about what (or if) anything was found. 

Before Saturday's searches began, Quigely told "Fox and Friends Weekend," "Every hour, we're getting more concerned for her well-being … We have more questions than answers."

She has brown hair, brown eyes, an olive complexion and is believed that she speaks with an Eastern European accent, according to authorities.
