"Lewandowski held multiple tense meetings with GEO Group founder George Zoley in which money became an issue. GEO Group is behind many facilities used to house migrants, but their contracts reportedly shrank after its founder and Lewandowski disagreed about the latter getting paid."
"Lewandowski allegedly told Zoley he wanted to be paid to grow GEO's federal contracts. Lewandowski was not officially part of the government at the time. A longtime Trump ally, he now serves as DHS chief advisor."
"In late February or early March, Zoley reportedly met with Lewandowski again and offered a recurring consulting fee, something Lewandowski allegedly refused. According to two sources, he said he wanted fees based on new contracts. He wanted payments what some people would call a success fee."
Corey Lewandowski, a Trump ally serving as DHS chief advisor, allegedly sought payment from GEO Group, a major contractor operating migrant detention facilities. During Trump's second transition, Lewandowski reportedly told GEO Group founder George Zoley he wanted to be paid to expand the company's federal contracts. When Zoley initially declined, he later offered a recurring consulting fee, which Lewandowski allegedly rejected in favor of success-based payments tied to new contracts. A senior DHS official claimed Lewandowski subsequently recommended against awarding new contracts to GEO Group. Lewandowski has denied these allegations through his spokesperson, stating he never demanded payment or compensation from the company.
