If this is anything like Lewandowski's previous departures, he'll go around the revolving door and back in again in some other role, which is how he ended up associated with Noem in the first place.
He was the Lyin' Ted scorched-earth, pay-the-Enquirer guy (which led to Trump's unenforced felony convictions), after all.
Yep...he was (and is?) Trump's muscle man and enforcer thug.
Woman who accused Corey Lewandowski of assault speaks out: "I don't want this to happen to anyone else"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/corey-lewandowski-accuser-trashelle-odom-stalking-assault/The political class barely shrugged in August when Corey Lewandowski announced he was back at former President Donald Trump's side. But when Trashelle Odom learned that Lewandowski had joined Trump's 2024 presidential campaign as a senior adviser, it was a gut punch. That's because a little over three years ago, in 2021, Odom, then the wife of a wealthy Republican donor, had reported Lewandowski to the police for allegedly assaulting and stalking her at a Las Vegas charity event. Later, she said his lawyers offered her payment to keep quiet.
Lewandowski, who was Trump's first campaign manager, was charged with misdemeanor battery and reached an agreement with prosecutors to dismiss the charges in exchange for community service, a $1,000 fine, enrollment in an impulse control class and an apology in court to Odom for "any discomfort he may have caused her." Lewandowski was ousted from Trump's orbit, where he'd been running a super PAC supporting the former president. A Trump spokesman vowed at the time that Lewandowski "would no longer be associated with Trump world."
In response to a request for comment, lawyers for Lewandowski, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, stated, "Lewandowski was not charged with assault or stalking in Clark County, Nevada. In fact, the case against Mr. Lewandowski was dismissed."

Lewandowski's aggressive style and penchant for personal peccadilloes made for a turbulent tenure in Trump's orbit. But Trump has stayed loyal to Lewandowksi, bringing him back into his inner circle after he was fired twice, once by the campaign and once by the super PAC Make America Great Again Action.

"I just like him," Trump recently told New York magazine. "Corey's a character." Lewandowski faced scrutiny for his treatment of women almost from the start. During the 2016 campaign, CCTV footage showed him grabbing a journalist's arm following a press conference. Images from the video showed she had bruises on her arm. Lewandowski was charged with simple battery, but prosecutors ultimately dropped the charges.
Lewandowski's lawyers said in response to the allegation that the matter "was concluded long ago with Florida authorities electing not to pursue charges after completing their investigation."
In 2017, a woman told police that Lewandowski slapped her behind during a holiday party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. She objected, according to the police report, but Lewandowski ignored her disapproval and did it again.
