美国司法部调查前国土安全部高管卢瓦多夫斯基是否利用职位获利

美国司法部正在调查前国土安全部高管科里·卢瓦多夫斯基是否通过其特殊政府雇员身份个人获利1。调查是在获得国土安全部监察长办公室转介后启动的1。卢瓦多夫斯基曾担任国土安全部长诺埃姆的实际办公室主任，并与诺埃姆于今年3月同时被撤职1。

根据调查指控，卢瓦多夫斯基作为特殊政府雇员批准了某些国土安全部合同，尽管在这一身份下他没有法律权限这样做1。他还涉嫌冻结某些拨款和合同，包括涉及联邦应急管理署的项目1。《华尔街日报》报道称卢瓦多夫斯基还涉嫌试图通过要求中东国家雇用他来处理签证和其他国土安全部问题而从其职位获取经济利益1。

两人的任期因多起争议事件而受到关注，包括移民官员致命射击美国公民的事件1。此外，诺埃姆在离职前因向与她有关联的两家公司授予2.2亿美元的广告合同而面临议员质询1。

卢瓦多夫斯基的律师亚当·特里格否认有不当行为，表示"卢瓦多夫斯基先生尚未被司法部就任何调查联系"1。特朗普总统在周四被问及该调查时表示他听说过但不了解细节，补充道"我希望我的人诚实"1。

The US Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether Corey Lewandowski, a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security, used his position as a special government employee for personal financial gain1. The probe was initiated following a referral from the DHS Office of Inspector General1.

Lewandowski served as the de facto chief of staff to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem until March, when both were removed from their positions1. According to DHS officials who spoke to Reuters, Lewandowski approved certain departmental contracts despite lacking legal authority to do so as a special government employee1. He is also alleged to have frozen certain appropriations and contracts, including projects involving the Federal Emergency Management Agency1. The Wall Street Journal reported that Lewandowski is suspected of attempting to benefit economically from his DHS position by requesting Middle Eastern nations hire him to handle visa and other homeland security matters1.

Before her departure, Noem faced questioning from lawmakers over awarding $220 million in advertising contracts to two companies associated with her1. Lewandowski's attorney, Adam Trier, stated that "Mr. Lewandowski has not been contacted by the Department of Justice regarding any investigation"1. When asked about the investigation on Thursday, President Trump said he had heard of it but was unfamiliar with the details, adding that he hoped "my people are honest"1.
