Rep. Nancy Mace Calls For Investigation Into Corey Lewandowski's Alleged Misconduct At DHS

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Apr. 28, 2026) - Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) sent a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer urging him to open a formal investigation into serious allegations of misconduct by Corey Lewandowski during his time as a Special Government Employee and advisor to the Department of Homeland Security and former Secretary Kristi Noem.

According to public reporting, Lewandowski used his authority over DHS contracts to solicit payments from private contractors in exchange for preserving existing contracts or securing new ones. His alleged conduct potentially violated multiple federal criminal statutes including bribery of public officials, extortion by federal officers, Hobbs Act extortion, and acts affecting personal financial interest.

"Corey Lewandowski had multiple arrests on his record and virtually no national security or law enforcement experience when Kristi Noem handed him a position of significant authority at DHS," said Congresswoman Mace. "He then allegedly tried to use this position to line his own pockets at the expense of American taxpayers. Nobody is above the law. Not in this country. The Oversight Committee must get to the bottom of this and hold those who abused their public office accountable, regardless of political party."

Rep. Mace is also demanding answers about what former Secretary Noem knew and when. Given her close personal relationship with Lewandowski, questions remain about whether she was aware of his alleged conduct and chose to look the other way.

"We strongly support DHS and its critical mission to secure our homeland. Lewandowski's alleged behavior is a slap in the face to every dedicated DHS employee and every American taxpayer who expects their government to operate with integrity," Mace added. "This Committee exists exactly for this reason, to hold the executive branch accountable. Lewandowski apparently thought he was untouchable. It is time to prove him wrong."
