Watch Kristi Noem's Face When Asked About Her Affair Rumors

"So, Secretary Noem, at any time during your tenure, as director of Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski? Noem didn't answer Kamlager-Dove directly and instead addressed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). Mr. Chairman, I am shocked we're going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today."

"While the two continued to speak over each other, Kamlager-Dove conceded it was OK for Noem to be offended by the question, but pointed out the secretary should be able to answer the question clearly and without any hesitation if someone is asking if you or any federal official is sleeping with their subordinate."

"Rumors have abounded for years that the Department of Homeland Security secretary has been having an affair with Homeland Security aide Corey Lewandowski despite both of them being married to others. The two have denied the rumors since at least 2021, but the alleged relationship has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after The Wall Street Journal reported that the two have been seen flying together in a luxury jet with a private cabin."

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, California Democrat Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove directly asked DHS Secretary Kristi Noem whether she had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski, a Homeland Security aide. Long-standing rumors about an alleged affair between the two have circulated for years, with both denying the claims since at least 2021. Recent scrutiny intensified after The Wall Street Journal reported they were seen flying together on a luxury jet with a private cabin. When confronted with the question, Noem characterized it as tabloid garbage and redirected her response to address Lewandowski's role as a special government employee with no decision-making authority, rather than directly answering the question posed.
