A sense of fear has enveloped staffers in the Department of Homeland Security who are reportedly forced to face Secretary Kristi Noem’s right-hand man, Corey Lewandowski, whenever things go wrong.
Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign official with a reputation for being pugnacious, serves as a special government employee advising Noem. But he’s reportedly amassed enough power in his role that he can fire people and veto $100,000 contracts.
