DOJ probes Lewandowski over alleged DHS contract kickbacks
The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Corey Lewandowski, former de facto chief of staff to Kristi Noem, over allegations of contract misconduct at the Department of Homeland Security. The probe follows a referral from the DHS Inspector General and marks a rare instance of the Trump administration pursuing charges against a close political ally. Lewandowski denies wrongdoing, claiming he served in a voluntary capacity, while critics note the unusual nature of the inquiry given the administration's prior reluctance to investigate its own members.
