Who Is Corey Lewandowski? The Adviser at the Center of the Kristi Noem Affair

Noem faced questions about an alleged affair with Lewandowski amid concerns over his misconduct and DHS experience during a tense congressional hearing.

  • On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and was asked under oath about sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski but declined to answer while her husband, Bryon Noem, sat grimly behind her.
  • Longstanding rumors dating back to 2021 prompted scrutiny as ProPublica reported Wednesday that Corey Lewandowski signed off on DHS contracts, raising oversight concerns.
  • During the hearing, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove asked Noem if she had sexual relations with Lewandowski, and Noem called the question 'tabloid garbage' while some onlookers urged a clear denial.
  • Democrats framed their questions as a national-security concern, arguing Noem's judgment affects about 260,000 DHS employees and raises oversight risks, officials say.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that reports dating to at least 2021 and recent book excerpts have kept the alleged relationship under scrutiny.
