Have a special MAGA birthday that could use a little star power? Need a conservative influencer for your HVAC business? Perhaps a Homeland Security adviser to facilitate your child’s potty training? Corey Lewandowski is your guy. President Donald Trump’s longtime loyalist is being paid by private companies and individuals to make video messages even as he wields unprecedented influence inside the Department of Homeland Security alongside his rumored lover, Kristi Noem.
As Border Patrol and TSA agents worked without pay amid the longest government shutdown in US history, Lewandowski was moonlighting as a pitchman on Cameo for businesses willing to shell out more than $500 per video, according to information on Lewandowski’s online account. The website charges customers a fee for their chosen celebrities and political figures to record personalized video messages. The 52-year-old’s last recorded clip was sent out on Halloween, as more than one million federal employees went without pay, according to his account. He serves at the Department of Homeland Security without a formal title as a ‘special government employee,’ a designation that has led to him not disclosing his finances while working inside the Trump administration.
