Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) asked Noem in a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Wednesday afternoon if the secretary was having an affair with Lewandowski, the 2016 campaign manager for President Donald Trump, who is now a senior adviser to Noem.

Despite that level of public attention, Noem seemed surprised when California Democrat Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove bluntly asked her about the rumors during a Wednesday hearing of the House Judiciary Committee.

And, no, Kamlager-Dove didn’t mince words at all.

“So, Secretary Noem, at any time during your tenure, as director of Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?” she asked.

Noem on Wednesday refused to deny under oath that she had sex with Lewandowski when questioned by Democratic Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove.

"At any time during your tenure as director of the Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?" Kamlager-Dove asked. 

She stared forward as Kamlager-Dove read a series of headlines related to Noem and Lewandowski, which she said she wanted entered into the record; Jordan objected to each one. 

Today’s hearing was heated - and at times salacious - as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was grilled on whether she had an affair with one of her top aides.

"Yeah. Today's performance by Kristi Noem was appalling," said Kamlager-Dove, who added that Good and Pretti are hardly the only victims: "30 immigrants ... have been killed, you know, because this woman is making bad decisions that are killing Americans, that are killing our friends and neighbors."

"The self-proclaimed Peace President' just dragged the United States back into war in the Middle East. Despite rising inflation, ongoing nationwide job losses, and mounting questions about his health, Trump is launching a war against Iran without authorization from Congress and approval from the American people," said Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Los Angeles, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
