flag Corey Lewandowski allegedly demanded "success fees" from contractors, including GEO Group, in exchange for influence over federal contracts, sparking a Democratic-led corruption probe.

flag Corey Lewandowski, a top aide to former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, is accused of demanding "success fees" from government contractors, including GEO Group, in exchange for influence over federal contracts, according to multiple sources. flag Allegations claim he insisted on payments tied to contract outcomes, leading to shortened GEO Group contracts and underutilized facilities despite increased immigration enforcement funding. flag A marketing firm reportedly abandoned contract pursuits after being told to funnel payments through third parties. flag Lewandowski and his representatives deny the claims, and DHS says he complied with ethics rules. flag The controversy has prompted a Democratic-led investigation into potential corruption and conflicts of interest, particularly regarding a $220 million DHS ad campaign that awarded significant commissions to firms linked to Trump-aligned networks.
