LEWANDOWSKI’S EXTRAORDINARY POWER
Yesterday Hamed Aleaziz, Alexandra Berzon, Nicholas
Nehamas, Zolan Kanno-Youngs, and Tyler Pager of the
New York Times reported on the extraordinary power
Lewandowski had in DHS under Noem, explaining that
he held meetings without her present, sat in on
classified briefings, read a version of the highly
classified President's Daily Brief, and issued orders as
he spearheaded detention and deportation of migrants.
In addition to approving government contracts that
worried officials, Lewandowski helped put Greg Bovino,
a midlevel Border Patrol leader, into a senior position
that gave him national power.
