The Department of Homeland Security’s internal watchdog is launching an investigation into how contracts were solicited and handled under former Secretary Kristi Noem, including her de facto chief of staff, Corey Lewandowski’s involvement, sources told CNN.
The department’s Office of Inspector General, which audits and reviews programs to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse, is reportedly looking into the contracting policies under Noem that were subject to scrutiny by lawmakers.
