DHS inspector general probing contracts handled by ex-Secretary Kristi Noem

Source: ABC News

The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General is probing contracts that were handled by former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the influence of former staffer Corey Lewandowski, according to sources.

The investigation is sprawling, according to sources, and court records indicate that at least one former Federal Emergency Management Agency official has received a notice to retain documents.

The IG's office doesn't confirm or deny "criminal or administrative" investigations, according to a statement from the office. The office did say it is auditing DHS grants and contracts, which it publicly posted on its website.

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.

From his Wikipedia page:

An appointee of President Donald Trump, Cuffari was found in October 2024 by an independent panel of watchdogs to have committed misconduct during his tenure as inspector general of the DHS, including misleading the Senate during his nomination process.[1] When Trump became president again in January 2025, he fired a large number of inspectors general, but kept Cuffari in office.[1]



Do not expect anything but cover-ups from the DHS IG. And if we do get anything but a cover-up, know that the reality is far worse than is being revealed.
