March 28 (Reuters) – Corey Lewandowski, ⁠who ⁠was an aide to ⁠former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, no longer ​works at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a spokesperson for the ‌agency said on Saturday. Lewandowski “no ‌longer has a role at DHS,” the DHS spokesperson said, ⁠without ⁠providing further details. Lewandowski had been an unpaid adviser to ​Noem. He previously served as President Donald Trump’s campaign manager in the 2016 election. Lewandowski did not respond to a request for comment. The ​department’s confirmation of his departure was first reported by Politico. Trump fired ⁠Noem ⁠earlier this month, saying ⁠she ​would become special envoy to a new “Shield of the Americas” initiative to ​promote his security ⁠policies in the Western Hemisphere. Noem has since been replaced as the head of DHS by former U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin, whom the Senate confirmed on Tuesday. The close relationship between Lewandowski and ⁠Noem drew scrutiny. At a congressional hearing earlier this month, a ⁠Democratic lawmaker asked Noem directly whether she had a sexual relationship with Lewandowski — a …

More than a year ago, The GEO Group founder George Zoley asked for a meeting with Corey Lewandowski, a close ally of President Donald Trump who had just started a powerful position as a top adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. As a titan of the private prison industry, GEO Group stood to benefit from Trump’s mass deportation agenda, which would require the federal government to spend tens of billions of dollars to transport, detain, monitor and deport undocumented immigrants. The company’s federal contracts in those areas already totaled more than $1 billion per year. But Zoley and his advisers were worried that the road to securing new government contracts now ran through Lewandowski. The two had history: Lewandowski and Zoley had butted heads during the transition between Trump’s November 2024 election and his January 2025 inauguration, before Lewandowski officially worked for the government, according to two industry sources and one senior DHS official familiar with the matter. During the transition, Lewandowski told Zoley that he wanted to be paid in exchange for protecting …

BARCELONA, Jan 3 : Late ‌goals from Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski earned LaLiga leaders Barcelona a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Espanyol in the Catalan derby on Saturday, with goalkeeper Joan Garcia playing a key role against his former club. Barca extended their lead atop the Spanish standings with 49 points, seven clear of second-placed Real Madrid, who host Real Betis on Sunday. Espanyol remain fifth on 33. In a physical and tightly contested match Espanyol came close to opening the scoring on several occasions but it was Barcelona who struck four minutes from time when Olmo produced ‌a superb finish into the far corner after a pass from Fermin Lopez. Lopez then ‌surged down the right flank to set up Lewandowski in the 90th minute, providing his second assist of the night as Barcelona sealed the win and silenced a fervent RCDE Stadium. “We know it was an important victory, in the derby, and what it means for the fans,” Lopez told Movistar. “Maybe we didn’t play our best game, but we knew how …
