A widening criminal investigation is now zeroing in on Kristi Noem, her close ally and alleged lover Corey Lewandowski and others inside the Department of Homeland Security, with officials scrambling as new questions emerge about how billions in contracts were handled.
The Homeland Security inspector general has launched a sweeping probe into no-bid deals tied to Noem’s office, sending notices to dozens of current and former officials — including members of her inner circle — ordering them to preserve communications, from emails and text messages to internal documents and phone records, according to The Daily Mail.
