The move ratchets up pressure on Kristi Noem’s adviser and rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski, 52.
Three Democratic senators have demanded that Department of Homeland Security-linked companies keep their private messages with Kristi Noem’s adviser and rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski.Despite Noem and Lewandowski having left DHS under a cloud, he was prominently seated next to her during a meeting with Guyanese government officials this week.
The trio has demanded that the firms retain all records and communications involving Lewandowski, his representatives, and any consulting firms connected to him. Both companies are at the heart of the contracting scandal that cost Lewandowski and his alleged lover, ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi “ICE Barbie” Noem, 54, their jobs earlier this month—a downfall the Daily Beast has In their letter, the senators warned that multiple committees are now investigating whether DHS spending was “subject to improper influence, corruption, or other violations of federal law.” GEO Group is a private prison firm contracted by DHS to detain undocumented immigrants. Salus holds a separate $915 million contract to run the administration’s self-deportation program. The Beast revealed this month that Salus is linked via shared leadership to Daedalus Aviation, the two-year-old firm whose CEO oversaw hisNBC News previously reported that a Salus representative allegedly asked the marketing firm to funnel part of a potential contract to a consultant connected to Lewandowski. In a separate incident, the outlet reported, Lewandowski allegedly told GEO Group founder George Zoley during a face-to-face meeting that heWhen Zoley declined, Lewandowski, who was President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager before being fired, allegedly then told a senior DHS official to stop awarding contracts to GEO Group—before a new $121 million GEO Group contract was awarded months later in December 2025.He told NBC the GEO Group account was “absolutely false.” A lawyer for Salus flatly denied the NBC account, saying the firm “would never entertain this type of arrangement.”Earlier this week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee separately wrote to GEO Group requesting details of all meetings and conversations with Lewandowski. The Senate letters add fresh congressional momentum to what is fast becoming one of the most sweeping corruption investigations in DHS history—and, as the Beast has reported,Spokespeople for the White House, DHS, and GEO Group did not respond to NBC’s requests for comment on the payment allegations. Spokespeople for Salus and GEO Group did not respond to questions about being asked to preserve communications for the senators.
