The comments come nearly a week after Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiDemocratic senator to party: 'A little message discipline wouldn't kill us' Overnight Health Care: New wave of COVID-19 cases builds in US | Florida to lift all coronavirus restrictions on restaurants, bars | Trump stirs questions with 0 drug coupon plan Overnight Defense: Appeals court revives House lawsuit against military funding for border wall | Dems push for limits on transferring military gear to police | Lawmakers ask for IG probe into Pentagon's use of COVID-19 funds MORE (D-Calif.) announced the House was launching an impeachment inquiry into Trump amid allegations from a whistleblower that the president attempted to persuade Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Lewandowski told The Hill last week that he would be open to working to defend Trump from impeachment.

“I have had no conversations with anyone in the White House about joining the team,” Lewandowski said. “I will do anything I can to support the president in the capacity that I’m allowed to do."

Polls have since shown the public appearing to warm to the idea of impeachment.

Speculation has swirled around Lewandowski launching a Senate challenge against Shaheen for months, resulting in a number of attacks from Democrats on Lewandowski.

“With or without Corey Lewandowski, New Hampshire Republicans are in a nasty primary among candidates all committed to protecting a corrupt President determined to take away health care from thousands of people in the Granite State," New Hampshire Democratic Party spokesman Josh Marcus-Blank said in a statement.
