Kristi Noem, South Dakota’s cowboy-boot-wearing, headline-chasing governor, has built a reputation on being equal parts ranch-hand tough and reality-TV-ready glamorous. Washington insiders, not-so-affectionately, nicknamed her “ICE Barbie”—a title that’s followed her from campaign trail photo ops all the way to her increasingly cozy corner of national politics.

But behind the curated Instagram-ready persona of Noem, 52, there’s a new whisper campaign tearing through D.C. cocktail parties, Axios leaks, and Hill staffers’ group chats: her right-hand man, Corey Lewandowski, is in hot water with Homeland Security.

The charge? Fudging his work hours to keep himself close to the power and perks of Washington without actually, you know, working.

And if you’re rolling your eyes and muttering “isn’t that basically the job description of half this town?”—well, you wouldn’t be alone.

Corey’s Curious Calendar

Corey Lewandowski, once best known as Donald Trump’s scrappy campaign bulldog, is officially an unpaid “special government employee” attached to Homeland Security. That title sounds glamorous, but the rules are rigid: he’s capped at 130 workdays per year.

In January 2025, Kim Kardashian posted an image that ignited a political tremor through pop culture: a polished photograph of former First Lady Melania Trump at the presidential inauguration. It was elegant, neutral—or so it seemed. Yet within 48 hours, Kim had lost over 150,000 Instagram followers.

According to DHS records, Lewandowski has logged just 69 days so far. Convenient, right? A man with all the insider access but only half the accountability.

Except—cue dramatic music—four separate administration insiders reportedly told Axios that those numbers are “a massive understatement.” Translation: Corey may be spending far more time in the building (and in Kristi’s orbit) than anyone wants on the books.

The Noem-Lewandowski Double Act

If this all sounds messy, it’s because Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski have been inseparable in Washington circles for years. He’s been her unofficial gatekeeper, strategy whisperer, and sometimes bulldog whenever she needs to elbow her way onto Fox News or into a Trump fundraiser.

Their partnership has sparked endless chatter in political back rooms: Is Corey using Kristi to stay relevant? Or is Kristi using Corey’s Rolodex of GOP megadonors to climb higher on the national stage?

Either way, the optics aren’t great. With whispers of a potential VP shortlist slot floating around her name, Noem now has to answer for whether her closest ally is gaming the system.

The ‘ICE Barbie’ Branding Problem

Washington runs on nicknames, and “ICE Barbie” has stuck to Kristi Noem like hairspray on a campaign bus. Originally meant as a jab at her photo-ready looks and law-and-order rhetoric, it’s become shorthand for the governor’s style of politics: equal parts glossy and sharp-edged.

But Barbie dolls don’t age well in scandal. As Corey’s calendar comes under scrutiny, Noem’s carefully cultivated image of a no-nonsense, straight-shooting conservative risks cracking. If Corey is caught stretching the rules, she’s guilty by proximity.

D.C. Insiders: “This Is Bigger Than Hours”

Sure, this might look like a minor HR violation dressed up as a headline. But D.C. insiders insist it’s more than that. Special government employees like Corey are supposed to balance their public duties with private sector work. When the lines blur, it raises big, uncomfortable questions:

  • Is Corey cashing in elsewhere while still acting as a government insider?

  • Did Kristi know his days were being undercounted?

  • And is DHS covering for him, or quietly plotting an exit strategy?

As one anonymous Hill staffer put it to a colleague at a Georgetown cocktail party: “Nobody actually cares about his timesheets. They care about who he’s meeting with while the timesheets say he’s off the clock.”

Kristi’s Future on the Line

This couldn’t come at a worse time for Noem. With Donald Trump looming over the GOP like a golden chandelier, every ambitious conservative is jockeying for proximity to the throne. Noem has openly angled for a role in Trump’s next act—whether that’s a cabinet post, a VP nod, or just keeping herself in his orbit.

But scandals have a way of sticking. And Washington loves nothing more than to watch a rising star trip over the very heels she strutted in on.

If Corey goes down, Noem doesn’t just lose her closest political fixer. She risks becoming the punchline in a town that never forgives—or forgets—a whiff of hypocrisy.

What Comes Next

The DHS probe into Corey Lewandowski’s work hours is still unfolding, and official statements remain vague at best. DHS insists the numbers are accurate, while insiders mutter that the “69 days” is laughably low.

Meanwhile, Kristi Noem continues to put on a confident front, smiling through photo ops and avoiding any direct comment about Corey’s situation. For now, she’s sticking to the script: nothing to see here.

But Washington has a way of digging. And if history has taught us anything, it’s this: the cover-up is always juicier than the crime.

For Kristi Noem, a woman who has spent years carefully airbrushing her brand into political Barbie perfection, the cracks in the plastic might finally be showing.
