Maggie Hassan Again Warns Corey Lewandowski to Preserve Records From His DHS Tenure

Hassan says the committee will use its full powers to examine allegations that Lewandowski sought payments from contractors and profited from DHS work.

  • On Tuesday, Senator Maggie Hassan, incoming chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, sent a letter to Corey Lewandowski demanding he preserve records from his time as a top adviser at the Department of Homeland Security.
  • Hassan seeks to investigate accusations that Lewandowski demanded personal financial compensation from government contractors in exchange for favorable contracts, which she described as "remain serious" misconduct.
  • The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into Lewandowski last month over accusations he profited from his role, though he maintains he has "nothing to hide" and denies wrongdoing.
  • James Percival, the Department of Homeland Security's general counsel, criticized the inquiry last week, claiming Democrats were "more interested in political shenanigans than in governing" and that officials were "well prepared to deal with this nonsense."
  • Representative Bennie Thompson and other Democrats plan to probe broader DHS operations, including deportation plane contracts and allegations of excessive force, as the party prepares to assume control of Congress.
