President Trump, asked aboard Air Force One about reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her top aide Corey Lewandowski are in a romantic relationship, said, “I don’t know about that. I mean, I haven’t heard that. I’ll find out about it, but I have not heard.” The alleged affair — which both deny — has been described as the “worst-kept secret” in Washington. Reporting says the pair frequently traveled together on government aircraft and provoked internal DHS disputes over staffing and resource use. A department spokesperson called the coverage “salacious, baseless gossip.” Media accounts include pilot and travel anecdotes reported by news outlets. (rollcall.com)
