The deletions landed just weeks after the department\u2019s own inspector general opened a probe into those contracts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A week before Guy\u2019s messages were deleted, NBC News had reported that Lewandowski solicited payments from government contractors in exchange for favorable treatment. He denies it and has demanded a retraction. The story remains live and unaltered.<\/p>\n<p>House Democrats had already  Noem of misleading Congress under oath. She told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Lewandowski played no role in approving contracts. Democrats said the evidence flatly contradicted that, according to their joint letter to DHS. The March 18 letter warned that shredding any Lewandowski-related records would be treated as destruction of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Guy disclosed the deletions himself, under oath, at his May 4 deposition, PunchUp reported. Ordered to unlock his phone and read out his group chats, he revealed nearly 30 FEMA-related Signal threads sitting on it.<\/p>\n<p>His account, laid out in a preservation order from Clinton appointee Judge Susan Illston, is that on April 30 or May 1, he tried to reinstall Signal, which wiped the messages and their backups. April 30 was his last day on the federal payroll. The judge said she was \u201cseriously troubled by these allegations of spoliation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Days earlier, after being ordered to hand the phone to Justice Department lawyers, Guy instead ran his own search\u2014using only the words \u201crenewal, core, and staffing plan\u201d\u2014and reported finding nothing. Illston ruled that self-search was unauthorized and that the terms were \u201cunderinclusive.\u201d Then, on his telling, the app was reinstalled, and the chats vanished.<\/p>\n<p>Guy fought to dodge the witness chair altogether. He hired lawyers from Binnall Law Group and raced to a federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia to kill the subpoena. His filing argued that surrendering his phone breached his Fourth Amendment rights. Illston called the constitutional argument \u201cfrivolous\u201d and ruled that leaving government \u201cshould not shield him from discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Signal can be set to quietly erase messages, potentially binning records the government is legally required to keep. DHS had circulated a letter ordering staff to \u201conly use DHS devices for official business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3075\">Lil\u2019 Marco Goon Accused of Going Rogue as Secret Mayhem Leaks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is no suggestion that Noem or Lewandowski knew about Guy\u2019s deletions. Guy\u2019s lawyers at Binnall Law Group\u2014the Trumpworld firm whose founder, Jesse Binnall, represents FBI director Kash Patel and other administration figures\u2014told PunchUp: \u201cMr. Guy never intentionally deleted the messages at issue.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>They emphatically denied that he discussed deleting messages with Noem, Lewandowski, or anyone linked to them. \u201cAny assertion to the contrary is a lie,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>The deletions have already cost the government, PunchUp reports. Illston ruled that the destroyed evidence helped sink its bid to keep FEMA staffing plans secret, because so little proof survives elsewhere. She gave DHS and FEMA until last Monday to hand over those plans\u2014and slapped down the administration\u2019s attempt to kill the case.<\/p>\n<p>The wipeout is the latest scandal to stain Noem and Lewandowski\u2019s 15-month DHS reign, says PunchUp. Trump, 80, fired Noem on March 5 and parked her in a made-up \u201cShield of the Americas\u201d envoy job\u2014a role the outlet revealed in April was invented to keep her out of the Senate race. Guy was one of 10 loyalists who trailed her out the door.<\/p>\n<p>Noem and Lewandowski have long denied an affair, with Noem telling Congress the claims were \u201ctabloid garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast contacted the White House, which referred it to DHS, FEMA, the Justice Department, and a representative for Noem and Lewandowski. <\/p>\n<p>Noem and Lewandowski were asked directly whether their own Signal messages about FEMA have been preserved and if they had been aware at any point of Guy\u2019s deletion. They did not respond.<\/p>\n<p>DHS did not address the deletions, with a spokesperson saying it was \u201cunfortunate this lawsuit persists\u201d and describing the case as an attempt \u201cto abuse the legal system.\u201d A FEMA spokesperson said the agency did not comment on pending litigation.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i>Tom Latchem exposes the secrets, scandals, and stories that powerful people and institutions want to keep under wraps.
