Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s top aide and alleged lover Corey Lewandowski made a flippant remark about doing “whatever the f*** I want” as a federal official, sources revealed. The comment was made during a discussion about official actions, and it sounds like something Lewandowski would say, according to four other sources who have worked with him. However, Lewandowski denied making the claim, saying he never asked for a pardon and has no reason to receive one.
Lewandowski’s comments have raised questions about his behavior as a special government employee, including approving contracts and abruptly firing staff without explanation. There are also allegations of impropriety, including reports that he and his allies enriched themselves with taxpayer-funded contracts. Lewandowski and Noem both denied having an improper relationship.
The remark has sparked a swirling of accusations against Lewandowski, who is expected to leave the department this month alongside Noem. It’s unclear what exactly Lewandowski might need a pardon for, but it’s possible that his close ties with Trump could help him avoid accountability.
