Corey Lewandowski has taken such an outsize role at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that some employees refer to him as Kristi Noem’s “shadow secretary.”

President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager and senior advisor originally wanted to serve as Noem’s chief of staff, but Trump and his top advisors were uncomfortable with the arrangement because their relationship has long been a source of tabloid fodder, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

For years, the Trump loyalists—both of whom are married—have denied rumors of a romantic relationship. Lewandowski said he wanted to work for DHS because his first wife was killed during the 9/11 terror attacks.

He agreed to sign on as a special government employee—a temporary employment status that allows private-sector employees to work within the government without disclosing or relinquishing their other business interests.

1. The jokes write themselves here.

“without disclosing or relinquishing their other business interests.”

In Gnome and Lewdandowski’s case, it’s Frisky Business and their “business interests” are each other.

Now that Ken is working in Barbie’s company, I figure there will be a lot of secret “border violations” in the future

2. If their lips are moving, they are lying

For years, the Trump loyalists—both of whom are married—have denied rumors of a romantic relationship. Lewandowski said he wanted to work for DHS because his first wife was killed during the 9/11 terror attacks.

I am sure his wife and their 4 children will be shocked to learn of her demise.

ITRW her 1st husband died on 9/11.
