Kristi Noem’s top adviser is out just days after she was grilled on their relationship at a House hearing

Corey Lewandowski, a top adviser to Kristi Noem, is out at the Department of Homeland Security, according to MS NOW.

Noem’s scandal-ridden leadership of the agency came to an end Thursday, when Donald Trump announced he was tapping Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her, effective March 31.

While Noem has recently faced increased scrutiny about her actions as DHS secretary — which culminated in two chaotic congressional hearings this week — questions about her relationship with Lewandowski have also followed her throughout her brief tenure.

    They need to subpoena more low level employees. People like Noem probably prepare their talking points before they even do the thing that will get them into trouble. The “just doing my job” crowd need to be put on notice they’re accessories, not pawns, in the criminal acts of this administration.
