Trump administration faces turmoil as key officials clash with White House
Tensions are rising within President Trump’s administration as key officials face scrutiny over their management styles and relationships with the White House. Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has drawn criticism from senior officials for his growing influence and micromanagement. Meanwhile, Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s strained ties with the White House have put his position in doubt.
Lewandowski’s role at DHS has become a point of contention. He has reportedly directed personnel firings and earned a reputation as a micro-manager. His relationship with Trump’s inner circle, including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, has soured since the 2024 campaign. In September, Trump held a tense meeting with Lewandowski and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to address concerns about the department’s management.
The administration is bracing for possible Cabinet changes, though no formal announcements have been made. Lewandowski’s influence at DHS and Wright’s strained position at the Energy Department remain key points of focus. Any reshuffling is unlikely before early next year, but the White House is already weighing its options.
