White House Growing Suspicious of Corey Lewandowski Over Major Allegations

White House officials are reportedly growing suspicious of Corey Lewandowski, a top advisor to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, over allegations that he is skirting federal work limits.

Lewandowski, a longtime Trump ally and former campaign manager, holds the title of special government employee, or SGE. That designation allows him to keep private sector clients while working in government, but federal law caps his work at 130 days per year.

Sources told the White House that Lewandowski may be exceeding that limit.

They claim he has been seen entering DHS headquarters without swiping his badge, following other employees through security checkpoints.

The allegations also include Lewandowski using his personal phone and email for official work, which sources say could be an attempt to conceal his activity.

One DHS source told Axios, “We’re hearing that Corey’s doing everything — failing to swipe in, working from home, whatever — to undercount his days. It’s fair to say his work is being watched now.”

A DHS spokesperson insisted Lewandowski’s official timecard shows only 69 days of work over the administration’s first 200 days.

Four administration officials countered that number, claiming it is a “gross undercount,” per Trending Politics.

On July 3, the White House Counsel’s Office sent out a memo reminding all SGEs about the 130-day limit and the requirement to keep accurate records. The White House says the memo was not aimed at any specific individual.

However, after the memo, White House counsel met with DHS counsel to address rumors about Lewandowski’s conduct.

“Mr. Lewandowski’s time is kept by a career DHS employee who submits the paperwork on a biweekly basis,” a White House official told Axios.

The SGE role has been used in the past by high-profile figures, including Elon Musk, to maintain limited government involvement while keeping private business interests.

Lewandowski has a long and complicated history with President Donald Trump. He managed Trump’s 2016 campaign before being removed after an incident involving a female reporter.

During the 2024 campaign, Lewandowski clashed with senior staff but remained close to Noem, advising her privately for years.

After Trump won reelection, Lewandowski followed Noem into DHS. His request to serve as her full-time chief of staff was denied by Trump amid rumors — denied by both — of a romantic relationship between the two, despite both being married.

Denied the full-time role, Lewandowski was appointed as a special government employee instead. That status, according to critics, has now become the center of an internal White House watch.

As one official put it, “His work is being closely monitored. If he’s breaking the 130-day limit, it’s going to come out.”
