Concerns have been raised over Lewandowski's management of his work hours as a special government employee. Administration officials suspect that he has manipulated his recorded time to undercount his days at work, remaining unpaid for longer than allowed. Recently, the White House has been monitoring his attendance. Official guidelines state special government employees can only work 130 days per year in unpaid roles, highlighting potential violations. The nature of Lewandowski's employment practices has also prompted internal discussions within the White House Counsel's Office and DHS.
Known as SGEs, special government employees are limited to 130 days per year of unpaid work. Like recent SGE Elon Musk, they can be in senior positions and still have private employment and clients, unlike typical government workers at departments that handle hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts.
After the memo was sent, sources say, the White House Counsel's Office and the counsel for DHS had discussions about the nature of Lewandowski's work at DHS.
White House officials began monitoring Lewandowski's time at work in recent weeks, Axios has learned.
Sources say, he has been seen entering government buildings with other employees to avoid swiping his own badge. That way, he could work without clocking in.
