"At any time during your tenure as director of the Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski? Kamlager-Dove asked. Mr. Chairman, I am shocked we're going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today, Noem said to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)."
"It is about your judgment and decision making, it is about the 260,000 employees that work under you that want to make sure you are giving information and making decisions clearly. It is about conflict of interest. It is about national security risk. American lives are at risk, she added."
During House Judiciary Committee testimony on immigration enforcement, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was questioned by Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove about whether she had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee at the White House. Noem objected to the line of questioning, characterizing it as tabloid garbage and expressing offense. Kamlager-Dove defended the question as relevant to Noem's judgment, decision-making, and potential conflicts of interest affecting the 260,000 employees under her supervision and national security. Noem did not directly answer the question. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan objected to Kamlager-Dove's attempts to enter related headlines into the record. The exchange occurred with Noem's husband present in the hearing room.
