South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has severed ties with Corey Lewandowski, following former President Trump's firing of the advisor and former campaign manager upon a report that he sexually harassed a wealthy Trump donor.
'Corey was always a volunteer, never paid a dime (campaign or official),' Noem spokesperson Ian Fury said, according to Politico. 'He will not be advising the Governor in regard to the campaign or official office.'
