Republicans in Congress are growing increasingly concerned about how contracts were handled at the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem’s leadership. Their investigation into the matter includes one of Corey Lewandowski’s advisers.
Lewandowski has served as “special government employee” under Noem, reportedly wielding outsized power over the agency’s operations. Kara Voorhies, a contractor who worked closely with Lewandowski as a senior adviser at the agency, is now under scrutiny as well. She has become a subject of congressional Republicans’ inquiry into Noem and Lewandowski’s handling of federal contracts, one source familiar with the investigation told NOTUS.
Voorhies played an outsized role in reviewing DHS contracts, sometimes preventing certain contracts from advancing for final sign-off, three sources with knowledge of the contracting process told NOTUS, requesting anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
