According to a new report, Corey Lewandowski has continued to support Kristi Noem despite the recent revelation that her husband Bryon has been leading a secret life as a crossdressing fetishist. Though both Lewandowski and Noem have faced professional setbacks, the two former Trump administration officials have maintained a close relationship and are plotting their next moves together.

Why it matters

The continued alliance between Lewandowski and Noem, two prominent Republican figures, is noteworthy given the personal scandal surrounding Noem's marriage. Their ongoing partnership suggests a resilience in the face of political and personal challenges.

The details
