Trump Presses Aides About Corey Lewandowski's Role in DHS: Report

President Trump questions aides about Corey Lewandowski's involvement in $220 million no-bid DHS ad contracts amid congressional investigations and Noem's reassignment.

  • Trump has been grilling aides about Corey Lewandowski's role in a $220 million DHS ad campaign, citing suspicion about personal profit, according to sources.
  • Corey Lewandowski served as a special government employee at DHS for more than a year and acted as de facto chief of staff to Kristi Noem, with officials and lobbyists saying he wielded outsize influence in awarding federal contracts.
  • Democratic senators Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., say Safe America Media signed a $143 million no-bid contract and People Who Think inked a $77 million deal with DHS.
  • Axios reported that Noem will leave dozens of pending contracts because her policy required personal review of deals worth $100K, causing delays and disruptions at DHS.
  • Lewandowski counters the suspicion by saying he received 'zero, not one penny' from DHS contracts Monday and has not decided whether to leave with Noem on March 31, despite Trump telling advisers last week 'Corey made out on that one'.
