From the Daily Caller: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem was confronted on Wednesday about her top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, reportedly firing a pilot on her behalf as rumors of an alleged affair continued to circulate.
Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin confronted Noem during the House Judiciary Committee’s “Oversight of the Department of Homeland Security” hearing about a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that alleged Lewandowski fired a Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a government jet. Noem’s husband, Bryon, sat quietly while Raskin mentioned Lewandowski, with whom she is rumored to have had an extramarital relationship.
“Apparently, when your special blanket, your blankie was left on one of the government jets and not transported over the new one, your special government employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fire the pilot mid-air. A 2003 Coast Guard graduate and distinguished U.S. Coast Guard Commander in Air Station, Washington D.C.,” Raskin said. “But then he had to be rehired immediately because there was no one else who could fly the two of you on the rest of the journey back home.”
According to the Wall Street Journal report, reports of an alleged extramarital relationship between Noem and Lewandowski have been circulating for quite some time, although both have denied it.
Raskin began by blasting Noem for allegedly buying a luxury jet to turn into a deportation plane.
