Corey Lewandowski is an unpaid special government employee who unofficially acts as chief of staff for Kristi Noem. Several sources say the president knows about the affair between Noem and Lewandowski, with one person close to Trump saying he “frequently” tells a story about seeing the two take sips from the same can of soda. “You can’t do that, it’s pretty obvious! You can’t do that, everyone’s going to know!” the germophobic president is quoted as mockingly saying as he entertains listeners with the account.
