Lewandowski back for another year as DHS's part-time power broker

The most powerful man in the Department of Homeland Security, Corey Lewandowski, was supposed to work just 130 days last year because he was classified as a temporary government employee.

But thanks to creative timekeeping, he was there throughout the year. Now he's poised for a repeat in 2026.

Why it matters: Despite being listed as a temp, Lewandowski exerts singular influence in day-to-day operations at DHS — from billions of dollars in contracts to its unpopular immigration-enforcement tactics that have become a drag on the Trump administration.
