WASHINGTON — Corey Lewandowski is standing by Kristi Noem’s side as she suffers the humiliating fallout from her husband’s embarrassing photos of his double life.
Lewandowski, long reported to be Noem’s lover in addition to her political adviser, is playing the behind-the-scenes puppet master in negotiating the public relations nightmare for the politically ambitious Noem, sources tell The Post.
Bryon Noem was sensationally accused in a Daily Mail article Tuesday of posting cross-dressing pictures of himself with comically large fake balloon breasts in chats with influencers in the “bimboification” fetish scene.
It’s a familiar role for Lewandowski, who occupied an unpaid but powerful role in the Department of Homeland Security when she served as secretary.
He lost the gig when President Trump fired her but that hasn’t driven the two apart, insiders say.
The couple are said to still be living together in the Coast Guard commandant’s house on a Washington military base – for security reasons And they remain close as they plot their way forward.
“He’s a survivor,” a top Republican strategist who knows them both well told The Post.
