两名熟悉调查情况的消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实，美国司法部正在调查有关前国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆的高级顾问科里·勒万多夫斯基利用其在国土安全部的职位谋取经济利益的指控。
此次调查是在美国司法部收到国土安全部监察长办公室的转介后启动的，该办公室已于最近几周提交了调查结果。
勒万多夫斯基曾担任诺姆的高级顾问兼事实上的办公厅主任，直至两人于今年3月被赶出该部门。
其中一名消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，有关个人经济牟利的指控与诺姆在国土安全部任职期间敲定的合同有关。
勒万多夫斯基尚未面临任何刑事指控，且已否认有任何不当行为。
科里·勒万多夫斯基的律师亚当·特里格在向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻提供的一份声明中表示：“勒万多夫斯基先生尚未接到司法部就任何调查事宜的联系，他否认在以志愿身份自豪地为国家服务期间有任何不当行为。”
美国司法部拒绝置评。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系国土安全部征求评论。
此次调查最早由《华尔街日报》报道。
勒万多夫斯基多年来一直是特朗普总统圈子的成员。他曾在2016年总统竞选初期担任特朗普的竞选经理，并参与了特朗普2020年和2024年的竞选活动。
周四被问及此次已被报道的调查时，特朗普告诉记者，他刚刚听说此事，尚未收到司法部长托德·布兰奇的情况通报，但他表示：“我希望我的人保持诚实，如果他们不诚实，就必须被起诉。”
特朗普表示，他认为不诚实不仅会损害国家，还会对他个人造成伤害。
“如果他诚实，那没问题。如果他不诚实，就必须付出代价，”这位总统说道。
在诺姆和勒万多夫斯基离开国土安全部之前，一些高级官员曾私下抱怨，他们认为这位前国土安全部长及其顾问对合同和运营决策进行了微观管理，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道过这一情况。
诺姆要求对金额超过10万美元的合同、拨款和资金义务获得她的书面个人批准。尽管她旨在加强监督，但一些官员表示，这项政策给他们认为必要的资金申请造成了严重延误，其中包括救灾资金。
DOJ investigating Trump ally Corey Lewandowski over role at DHS, sources say

The Justice Department is looking into allegations that Corey Lewandowski, a former top adviser to ex-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, used his DHS position for financial gain, two sources familiar with the investigation confirmed to CBS News.
The probe was opened after the Justice Department received a referral from DHS’ Office of Inspector General, which shared its findings in recent weeks.
Lewandowski served as a senior adviser and de facto chief of staff to Noem until both were ousted from the department in March.
The allegations of personal financial profit are connected to contracts established under Noem’s tenure at DHS, one of the sources told CBS News.
Lewandowski has not been charged with a crime, and has denied wrongdoing.
In a statement to CBS News, Corey Lewandowski’s attorney Adam Trigg said: “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.”
The Justice Department declined to comment. CBS News has reached out to DHS for comment.
The investigation was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Lewandowski has been part of President Trump’s circle for years. He served as Mr. Trump’s campaign manager early in the 2016 race, and played a role in his 2020 and 2024 campaigns.
Asked about the reported investigation on Thursday, Mr. Trump told reporters he had just heard about the matter and hadn’t been briefed by Attorney General Todd Blanche, but said: “I want my people to be honest, and if they’re not going to be honest, they have to be prosecuted.”
Mr. Trump said he viewed dishonesty as harming not only the country but also him personally.
“If he’s honest that’s good. If he’s not honest, you have to pay a price,” the president said.
Before Noem and Lewandowski departed DHS, some senior officials privately complained about what they viewed as micromanagement of contracts and operational decisions by the former DHS secretary and her adviser, CBS News has previously reported.
Noem required her personal written approval for contracts, grants and funding obligations above $100,000. Although she intended to tighten oversight, some officials said the policy created significant backlogs for what they viewed as essential funding, including for disaster relief.
