Corey Lewandowski

Corey Lewandowski is a political operative and senior advisor to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem. He is currently newsworthy due to allegations of undue influence over DHS contracts and operations, despite not being a paid government employee. Senator Richard Blumenthal is seeking a perjury investigation into Secretary Noem, alleging she misled Congress about Lewandowski's role. Reports indicate Lewandowski has significant power within the DHS, potentially influencing the awarding of contracts, including a $250,000 public relations contract to a firm with ties to former Trump campaign officials. This situation raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the appropriateness of Lewandowski's involvement in government affairs.
