科里·卢万多夫斯基因涉嫌“权钱交易”计划遭司法部刑事调查，此前有传闻称他是克里斯蒂·诺姆的情人 我们的“DC Insider”通讯——您了解华盛顿震动、白宫动荡和国会山流言的指南《每日邮报》获悉，司法部已根据指控对科里·卢万多夫斯基展开刑事调查，指控称他利用在国土安全部的高级职务谋取私利，涉嫌从事“权钱交易”计划。
Kristi Noem's rumored lover Corey Lewandowski under DOJ criminal investigation for alleged 'pay-to-play' scheme Sign up HERE to our DC Insider newsletter - your guide to what's rocking Washington, rattling the White House and setting tongues wagging on the Hill The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Corey Lewandowski based on allegations he profited off his senior role at the Department of Homeland Security, engaging in a ‘pay-to-play’ scheme, the Daily Mail has learned.
此次调查基于国土安全部监察长（IG）最近向司法部提交的刑事移交函。
The investigation is based on a criminal referral that was recently submitted to the department by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General (IG).
《华尔街日报》率先报道称，司法部正在“审查指控”，即卢万多夫斯基作为时任国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆的高级顾问，利用其高层职位谋取私利。
The Wall Street Journal reported first that the DOJ is ‘examining allegations’ that Lewandowski, as senior adviser to then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, profited off his top position.
周四，唐纳德·特朗普在白宫草坪上接受记者提问时表示：“我认为如果人们不诚实，就是在偷我的东西……我想我可以制止任何事情。我不知道他做了什么。”
Asked about the investigation by reporters on the White House lawn on Thursday, Donald Trump said: ‘I view it as if people aren’t honest, they’re stealing from me... I guess I could stop anything. I have no idea what he did.’
《每日邮报》于3月率先爆料，监察长已针对诺姆、传闻中她的情人卢万多夫斯基及其他人，就涉嫌授予数十亿美元免招标合同一事展开“广泛”的刑事调查。
The Daily Mail first broke the news in March that the IG had launched the ‘wide-ranging’ criminal investigation into Noem, her rumored lover Lewandowski, and others over the alleged awarding of billions of dollars in no-bid contracts.
消息人士称，该部门已向数十名参与批准合同的人员发出通知，其中包括诺姆核心圈子的许多人。
The department sent notices to dozens of people involved in approving the contracts, including many in Noem's inner circle, sources said.
《每日邮报》披露，这些官员被要求保存所有通信记录，包括文件、短信、电子邮件和电话记录。
These officials were ordered to preserve all communications, including documents, text messages, emails and phone records, the Daily Mail revealed.
一位知情的国土安全部高级官员当时表示：“这早就该来了，非常有必要。在他们的监管下发生了太多阴暗的勾当。”
'It's long overdue and much needed,' one senior DHS official familiar with the matter said at the time. 'There has been too much shady stuff done under their watch.'
诺姆因备受关注的一项耗资2.2亿美元、以她骑马形象为特色的宣传活动而遭到严厉审查，这在一定程度上导致她被戏剧性地免去国土安全部部长职务。
Noem was spectacularly ousted from DHS, in part, due to scrutiny over a controversial $220 million campaign showing her on horseback.
美国司法部已针对科里·卢万多夫斯基展开刑事调查，依据是指控他利用在国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆手下担任高级职务的身份谋取私利。诺姆、传为其情人的科里·卢万多夫斯基，以及国土安全部的相关人员正面临一项“范围广泛”的刑事调查。然而，监察长的刑事调查并不局限于广告合同，据国土安全部高级官员3月向《每日邮报》透露，调查人员正在深挖由诺姆办公室亲自批准的“广泛范围”其他合同。
The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Cory Lewandowski based on allegations he profited off his senior role at the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, her rumored lover Corey Lewandowski, and associates at Homeland Security are facing a 'wide-ranging' criminal investigation However, the IG's criminal probe was not limited to the ads and investigators were digging into a 'wide range' of other contracts personally approved by Noem's office, senior DHS officials told the Daily Mail in March.
目前尚未指控具体罪行，但这一移交表明监察长认定存在犯罪活动，并将信息移交该部门跟进，可能起诉这位长期效忠特朗普、曾担任诺姆实际幕僚长的忠诚者。
At this point, no crime has been alleged, but the referral shows the IG identified criminal activity and handed off the information to the department to follow up and potentially prosecute the longtime Trump loyalist who served as Noem’s de-facto chief of staff.
国土安全部的合同流程因可能存在权钱交易和利益冲突而受到审查。
The DHS contracting process came under scrutiny over concerns about possible influence peddling and conflicts of interest.
多名国土安全部承包商向白宫官员表示，卢万多夫斯基涉嫌索取“付费服务”费用，以协助获取或扩大合同，消息人士告诉《每日邮报》，这种手段被广泛称为“卢万多夫斯基税”。卢万多夫斯基曾担任特别政府雇员，他否认有任何不当行为。
Some DHS contractors told White House officials that Lewandowski allegedly solicited 'pay-to-play' fees in exchange for helping secure or expand contracts, a tactic sources told the Daily Mail was widely referred to as 'the Lewandowski tax.' Lewandowski, a former special government employee, has denied any wrongdoing.
他对身边人声称，如果真被起诉，预计特朗普会赦免他，但他的律师否认了这一说法。
He has told people close to him he expects Trump would pardon him if charges ever came, a claim his lawyer has denied.
“白宫不会阻拦，”一位官员早前告诉《每日邮报“，“科里的命运将由科里的行为决定。” ”科里自作自受，现在得自己承担后果，”另一位白宫身边人士说。
'The White House isn't going to stand in the way,' an official previously told the Daily Mail. 'Corey's fate will be decided by Corey's actions.’'Corey has made his bed, and now he has to lie in it,' another source close to the White House said.
诺姆和卢万多夫斯基对所有六位数合同的批准保持严格控制。他们坚持独家授权导致数月积压，延误了与联邦紧急事务管理署（FEMA）灾害救援和特朗普边境墙建设相关的合同。
Noem and Lewandowski maintained tight control over the approval of all six-figure contracts. Their insistence on sole authorization created months-long backlogs, delaying contracts tied to FEMA disaster relief and construction of Trump's border wall.
但国土安全部消息人士告诉《每日邮报》，这也让两人得以规避标准监管。
But DHS sources told the Daily Mail this also allowed the pair to circumvent standard oversight.
当被联系就当时的调查置评时，卢万多夫斯基回复称：“假新闻。” 前南达科他州州长克里斯蒂·诺姆与时任2016年特朗普竞选经理科里·卢万多夫斯基的合影（Facebook） 国土安全部监察长办公室是一个独立的联邦监察机构，负责调查欺诈、浪费、滥职和渎职行为。该办公室由约瑟夫·库法里领导，他是特朗普开启第二任期伊始解雇17名监察长后，留任的极少数监察长之一。
When contacted for a response on the investigation at the time, Lewandowski replied, 'Fake news.' Former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem pictured with then-2016 Trump Campaign manager Corey Lewandowski (Facebook) The DHS Office of Inspector General is an independent federal watchdog tasked with investigating fraud, waste, abuse and misconduct. The office is led by Joseph Cuffari, one of a small group of inspectors general to keep their posts after Trump fired 17 at the start of his second term.
库法里曾向国会山的议员表示，诺姆“系统性地阻挠”了他之前的十一项调查。
Cuffari has told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that Noem 'systematically obstructed' eleven of his prior investigations.
一位资深政府官员告诉《每日邮报》，卢万多夫斯基在离开国土安全部前，曾多次试图让库法里被解职，但均未成功。
A senior administration official told the Daily Mail that Lewandowski also unsuccessfully tried to get Cuffari fired on multiple occasions before leaving DHS.
去年春天，诺姆的十位核心顾问和幕僚，包括她的三位副幕僚长，离开国土安全部转投国务院，协助她履行“美洲盾牌”特使的新职务。诺姆最近已卸任该职务，但仍留任国务院顾问。司法部拒绝置评。《每日邮报》已联系卢万多夫斯基、诺姆和白宫请其置评。
Last spring, ten of Noem's closest advisers and staffers, including her three deputy chiefs of staff, left Homeland to join the State Department, where they were to assist her in her new role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Noem recently left the position but remains in an advisory role at the State Department. The Department of Justice declined to comment. The Daily Mail reached out to Lewandowski, Noem and the White House for comment.
