  "account": "Senator Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., has requested that former Department of Homeland Security adviser Corey Lewandowski preserve all relevant records related to his time at the agency. As incoming Chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Hassan intends to use the Committee's full authorities to investigate any potential corruption and waste. Lewandowski, who left DHS earlier this year, has denied any wrongdoing and claims he was serving his country voluntarily. The incoming chairwoman has written a letter to Lewandowski, renewing her request for compliance, and stated that she will pursue the matter using compulsory process if necessary. Justice Department prosecutors are also investigating the agency's contracting activities during the second Trump administration and scrutinizing Lewandowski, according to sources familiar with the matter. Lewandowski's lawyer confirmed that he has not been contacted by the Justice Department regarding any investigation.",
