Lewandowski's DHS Departure Amidst Controversy
Corey Lewandowski, former aide to Kristi Noem, has left the Department of Homeland Security. His exit follows Noem's replacement after controversially being assigned to a new initiative by Trump. Allegations arose during a hearing about Lewandowski's relationship with Noem, which she dismissed. Lewandowski remains absent from State Department roles.
Corey Lewandowski, once an aide to former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, is no longer employed by the Department of Homeland Security, according to an agency spokesperson.
His departure comes after Noem was fired and reassigned by former President Donald Trump as part of a diplomatic initiative. She has since been replaced as head of DHS by Markwayne Mullin, who received Senate confirmation.
Scrutiny over Lewandowski's relationship with Noem persisted, highlighted by an inquiry during a congressional hearing which she rebuffed as baseless. Lewandowski appeared alongside Noem in diplomatic meetings in Guyana but will not join the State Department.
