Trump questioned over Kristi Noem-Corey Lewandowski relationship rumors
President Trump said aboard Air Force One he was unaware of rumors linking DHS Secretary Noem and adviser Lewandowski amid denials and ongoing scrutiny.
- President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday he had not heard reports about the relationship rumors involving Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, saying he would 'find out' when pressed.
- Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that unnamed officials said Trump and advisers were uncomfortable with Noem and Lewandowski's proximity, contributing to Lewandowski's blocked appointment as Noem's chief of staff.
- Reports that Lewandowski shuttled between residences and accompanied Noem on trips, with travel arrangements and photos fueling speculation, helped drive the narrative last year.
- Noem and Lewandowski denied the reports, and the Department of Homeland Security dismissed the claims as baseless, while law professor Barb McQuade warned of national security risks and Democrats plan oversight and impeachment.
- The reporting positions Lewandowski as a power broker inside DHS, involved in policy and staffing, and says his influence helped position Noem for the DHS post, raising oversight concerns.
