ICE Barbie’s Alleged Lover Hit by Bombshell Accusations
Corey Lewandowski, a former Trump ally, faces allegations of using his government position at the Department of Homeland Security to solicit financial kickbacks from foreign officials. The report claims he leveraged his role to offer government services to countries like Qatar and the UAE for personal gain.
Why it matters
The allegations highlight potential corruption and ethical lapses within high-level government administration and the risks associated with special government employee designations.
Corey Lewandowski, the top Donald Trump ally long rumored to be having an affair with former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi “ICE Barbie” Noem, has been accused of trying to use his government position to secretly enrich himself through shady deals.
A damning report by The Wall Street Journal detailed how Lewandowski allegedly offered additional government services to foreign officials for financial gain, as well as allegedly “shaking down” contractors seeking federal contracts for his own “kickbacks.”
All this alleged grifting took place while Lewandowski essentially acted as the “shadow secretary” at the Department of Homeland Security alongside his rumored lover, Noem. He is also alleged to have wielded outsized control at DHS, including handling billions of dollars in contracts, despite officially serving only as a special government employee (SGE). He denies all the allegations.
