DOJ investigating Corey Lewandowski over allegations he profited off of gov't job: WSJ

The Department of Justice is investigating allegations against Corey Lewandowski, a close Trump ally and former senior advisor at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to the Wall Street Journal.

Lewandowski worked closely with Kristi Noem during her time as DHS secretary and attracted scrutiny over agency spending, personnel squabbles, and alleged improprieties. The DHS inspector general referred the matter to the DOJ after its own probe.

A spokesperson for Lewandowski said that he had not received any contact from the DOJ and denied wrongdoing.

News of the DOJ review of the allegations comes as Trump reportedly looks to clean house after the midterms and is rumored to be preparing considerable staffing changes in the administration.

Lewandowski left DHS when Trump fired Noem earlier this year.
