US Justice Department investigates Trump ally Corey Lewandowski over Homeland Security contract misconduct

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating allegations of contract misconduct at the Department of Homeland Security, focusing on Corey Lewandowski, who served as de facto chief of staff to former Secretary Kristi Noem. The probe follows a criminal referral from the DHS Inspector General's office. Lewandowski's attorney denies wrongdoing. President Trump said he wants his people to be honest and supports prosecution if they are not. The investigation is ongoing, and it remains unclear which U.S. Attorney's office is leading it.
