Political staffing and directives
Officials say Noem and Lewandowski limited what spokespeople could tell the press. Longtime aides faced restrictions on public statements. One source described the public affairs shutdown as severe.
Workplace tensions
Some employees reported threats of termination from Lewandowski. “I’ll just fire your ass,” an official quoted him saying, according to accounts. Other staffers said they were unaware of chaos at senior levels.
Social media and account control
