Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem rebuffed a question about her relationship with a top adviser while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on March 4 about immigration enforcement actions.
When Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-California) asked Noem if she "had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski," Noem replied, "I am shocked we're going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee."
Lewandowski, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump and the manager of his 2016 presidential campaign, is an adviser to the Department of Homeland Security.
"He is a special government employee who works for the White House. There are thousands of them in the federal government," Noem said, adding that Lewandowski does not have the authority to make decisions for DHS.
Noem and Lewandowski's relationship has been the subject of speculation before, but both have denied reports about a rumored affair. Both Noem and Lewandowski are married.
