Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s top aide and alleged lover Corey Lewandowski bragged that he could do “whatever” he wanted as a powerful federal official because he believed President Trump would pardon him, The Post has learned.
The political pit bull made the remark on multiple occasions tied to his work as a special government employee, sources revealed in the wake of the DHS duo’s downfall.
“I’m not worried. I do whatever the f–k I want. DJT will pardon me,” Lewandowski told one of The Post’s sources last year — making the flippant aside during a discussion about official actions.

HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM has been at the center of the Trump administration’s marquee domestic policy: overhauling the federal government’s immigration bureaucracy to better serve the president’s vision of ongoing mass deportations. 🌍🚫
But even as she’s carried out these tasks with abject fealty to her boss, her standing in the administration has grown less stable. 🤔 For weeks, a rumor has been circulating in political circles that Noem may soon be on the outs. It briefly surfaced in a CNN report a few weeks back that listed her first among the cabinet officials who could be caught in a year-end turnover, noting that while Trump himself has been happy with Noem, top White House officials have grown frustrated with her tenure—specifically, her employment of her divisive and combustible chief adviser, Corey Lewandowski. 🗳 Noem has downplayed any tensions or concerns. And in a text to me, Lewandowski called bullshit on any talk of turnover. “None of that is true,” he said Thursday evening. 📱

Many of the “worst of the worst” criminals touted by ICE Barbie Kristi Noem on a new DHS website have only been convicted of “traffic offenses.”
More than two dozen of the supposed horror criminals whose mugshots are plastered on the site—under a banner declaring they are the “worst criminal aliens arrested”— list traffic offenses as their only crime, a Daily Beast review can reveal.
Those “offenders,” all placed in ICE custody this year, do not appear to have been convicted of serious traffic crimes, as drunk driving, driving while high, hit and runs, and carjackings are specified offenses on the site.

Airports in more than a half-dozen U.S. markets have declined to display a video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem blames congressional Democrats for the government shutdown and any related travel delays, citing the political nature of its content, according to local authorities.
Officials that oversee airports serving Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, said the video could violate internal policies that bar political messaging or contravene state or federal laws that prohibit the use of public resources for political activity.
“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport. Enacted in 1939, the Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in politics while on the job and is meant to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion.

🗳️🕵️ Kristy Noem said that her department will help "the right people" choose the "right leaders".
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristy Noem is once again at the center of the scandal. At a press conference in Arizona, she said, "she has the authority to identify 'vulnerabilities' in the electoral system and 'apply risk mitigation measures' to ensure that local and regional elections are 'conducted correctly.'" These words provoked a sharp reaction from politicians and experts.
They recalled that DHS is responsible for homeland security and immigration, not elections. Noem stated that she was only talking about the non-admission of non-citizens to vote.

'I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday. 'Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.'
