Kristi Noem’s top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, is out at the Department of Homeland Security, according to MS Now.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Senator Markwayne Mullin will be replacing Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary at the end of this month. Noem had faced heightened scrutiny in recent weeks, including over her relationship with Lewandowski, who serves as a special government employee.
It has long been rumored that Noem and Lewandowski, who are both married, have engaged in an affair. They have repeatedly denied the allegation, which Noem has called a “disgusting lie.”
When asked at a House hearing Wednesday if she ever had “sexual relations” with Lewandowski, Noem accused lawmakers of spreading “tabloid garbage.”
“Mr. Chairman, I am shocked we are going down and peddling tabloid garbage today at this committee,” she said.
