Noem aide Corey Lewandowski told coworkers he could do 'whatever' he wanted because Trump would pardon him: report [View all]
Source: Independent
Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem's top aide Corey Lewandowski reportedly told colleagues he could "do whatever the f***" he wanted, because Donald Trump would pardon him.
Lewandowski, who is also expected to leave the DHS later this month after Trump fired Noem from the job last week, made such remarks "on multiple occasions", according to a report in the New York Post, based on interviews with people who have worked with him.
“I’m not worried. I do whatever the f*** I want. DJT will pardon me,” Lewandowski said last year, according to the Post .
It is unclear why Lewandowski, who previously worked as Trump's campaign manager for the 2016 election, should have believed he may require a presidential pardon, but the same sources suggested he made the remarks as an all-encompassing response indicating he believed he would be legally shielded from accountability for a "range of alleged professional and personal misconduct."
