Corey Lewandowski Fired Pilot for Leaving Kristi Noem’s Blanket on Plane as Sources Say Pair ‘Spending Nights Regularly’ Together
Corey Lewandowski fired a Coast Guard pilot for leaving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s blanket on a plane — but was forced to rehire them upon realizing there was nobody else to fly the party home, according to a stunning new report.
Lewandowski, an unpaid special government employee who unofficially acts as chief of staff for Noem — with whom he’s had a years-long affair — has overseen a reign of terror over department workers since President Trump took office last year.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Noem had to switch planes during an official trip due to a maintenance issue, but her blanket was not moved to the replacement aircraft.
Lewandowski fired the pilot and told them to find a commercial flight home when they reached their destination, only to reinstate them due to the lack of a backup.
The report did not specify when or where the incident occurred.
A spokesperson for DHS did not deny the story to the Journal, but said Noem has “made personnel decisions to deliver excellence.” (Read more from “Corey Lewandowski Fired Pilot for Leaving Kristi Noem’s Blanket on Plane as Sources Say Pair ‘Spending Nights Regularly’ Together” HERE)
