Three Democratic senators have requested that two companies preserve records of their communications with Corey Lewandowski following an NBC News report that the companies were allegedly asked to pay him as part of the contracting process with the Department of Homeland Security.

Sens. Adam Schiff, Peter Welch and Richard Blumenthal, the ranking member on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, asked Salus Worldwide Solutions and Geo Group to preserve “personal records, corporate records, and all communications with Mr. Lewandowski, any person representing or purporting to be acting on behalf of Mr. Lewandowski, or any consulting firms associated with Mr. Lewandowski.”

Geo Group is a private prison firm contracted by DHS to house undocumented immigrants. Salus won a contract to help the agency encourage self-deportations.

NBC News previously reported that a marketing firm was contacted by a representative for Salus, asking that the firm pay a portion of a potential contract to a consultant tied to Lewandowski, according to a person familiar with the discussions. As a special government employee at DHS, NBC News reported, Lewandowski directly solicited payment from George Zoley, the founder of GEO Group in exchange for protecting and growing its contracts with DHS, according to two industry sources.
