Senior House Democrats demanded the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) preserve internal communications tied to Corey Lewandowski as they open a new congressional probe into the Trump ally’s role inside the agency.

The ranking Democrats on three House committees sent a memo Wednesday instructing DHS to “preserve all communications and internal records” relating to Lewandowski, who has served as a special advisor to former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. In the memo, first reported by journalist Scott MacFarlane who recently left CBS, lawmakers warned the department:

We demand DHS preserve all communications and internal records concerning Mr. Lewandowski’s role within the Department, as well as the Department’s practices, policies, and procedures related to contracting, personnel, and the handling of classified materials. Any deviation from standard record-keeping will be treated as an attempt to hide or destroy evidence.

The inquiry was launched by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA), the leading Democrat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
