Sources told the outlet that Lewandowski personally signed certain contracts or had knowledge of the approvals despite not being a full-time federal government official.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to The Journal, a representative for Lewandowski said he denied signing off on contracts and claimed no one has reached out to him about the ongoing investigation. Reached for comment by the Daily Beast, Lewandowski\u2019s team declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple reports described Noem as running DHS in tandem with Lewandowski, who was designated as a special government employee. Lewandowski had reportedly earned the moniker \u201cshadow secretary\u201d among DHS employees for his oversized influence during Noem\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n<p>Both Noem and Lewandowski are married with kids, but their alleged affair has been dubbed the \u201cworst-kept secret\u201d in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3316\">Manhattan Skyscraper Evacuated Over Collapse Fears<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White House and DHS did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time Lewandowski and Noem have come under scrutiny for their tenure at DHS.<\/p>\n<p>In April, California Democrat Robert Garcia launched a probe into five companies that received \u201cfavorable treatment\u201d to secure hundreds of millions of dollars from the DHS when Noem and Lewandowski were in charge. At the time, Lewandowski told NOTUS that he had \u201cnever done business with or been compensated by the companies referred in any way, shape, or form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March, NBC News reported that some potential government contractors said they were asked to make payments to Lewandowski.<\/p>\n<p>Lewandowski had a meltdown over that NBC report, going so far as to threaten litigation against the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo suggest that Mr. Lewandowski exerted influence over such processes is not merely inaccurate; it reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of federal contracting law,\u201d commercial litigator Adam Trigg, from Lewandowski\u2019s legal team, wrote in a letter sent to NBC Universal.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cMr. Lewandowski adamantly denies ever demanding any payment or compensation from any potential, former, or current government contractor\u2014such allegations are not supported by a single piece of evidence (because there is none) and instead stem from almost entirely anonymous sources, save one person with a well-known axe to grind,\u201d Trigg added.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3314\">Trump Ignites Health Concerns With Baffling Medical Rant<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristi Noem\u2019s alleged lover is still facing scrutiny for his short-lived stint as \u201cshadow secretary\u201d of the Department of Homeland Security.
