DOJ investigating Corey Lewandowski over alleged profiteering at DHS

The Justice Department is investigating former Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski over allegations he improperly profited from his role under Kristi Noem, who has since been ousted as secretary, following a criminal referral from DHS's inspector general. The inquiry reportedly began over a roughly $220 million advertising contract and, according to sources cited by NBC News, expanded after reports he allegedly sought payment from GEO Group, which the company declined. His representative has denied he demanded compensation and said he has not been contacted by the DOJ.
