Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee who served as a top adviser to former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, has departed from his post at the Department of Homeland Security, a spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.

“Mr. Lewandowski no longer has a role at DHS,” a department spokesperson said Saturday amid questions about whether Lewandowski would be leaving the agency, where he was serving as a special government employee.

Politico was the first to report the news of Lewandowski’s departure.

President Donald Trump fired Noem earlier this month after she’d served for a year in the agency’s top role.

Former Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., was sworn in as her replacement earlier this week.
