Via The Wall Street Journal:
The Justice Department is examining allegations that Corey Lewandowski profited off his top position at the Department of Homeland Security, people familiar with the matter said.
The inquiry is based on a referral from the DHS inspector general, which shared its findings about Lewandowski’s tenure at the department in recent days, the people said.
The New York Times and CNN also reported that Corey Lewandowski is under investigation.
“Mr. Lewandowski has not been contacted by the Justice Department regarding any investigation, and he denies any wrongdoing when he was proudly serving his country in a voluntary capacity,” Lewandowski’s attorney Adam Trigg told CNN.
President Trump was asked about the DOJ’s probe of Corey Lewandowski as he departed the White House.
“All I know is I want my people to be honest. If they’re not gonna be honest, they have to be prosecuted…if people are not honest, they’re stealing from me, as president,” Trump told reporters on the helipad.
“I want the people that work for this administration to be 100% honest,” Trump said.
