Corey Lewandowski, the top Donald Trump ally long rumored to be having an affair with Kristi “ICE Barbie” Noem, sought backhanded payments from companies seeking hugely lucrative government contracts, according to a report.
Lewandowski is accused of requesting payment from the private prison company GEO Group as it hoped to renew contracts with the government that could potentially see its role expanded to assist with the Trump administration’s hardline and expensive mass deportation plans.
GEO Group founder George Zoley requested a meeting with Lewandowski—who at the time was essentially Noem’s de facto chief of staff within the Department of Homeland Security—last year, amid concerns that contract negotiations would go through him. During the meeting, Lewandowski allegedly told Zoley he wanted to be paid in exchange for “protecting and growing” GEO Group’s DHS contracts, which Zoley declined, NBC News reported.
