On June 27 , 2018 , Lewandowski revisited the topic of the 10-year-old immigrant on CNN , asserting , contrary to the available evidence , that the " 10-year-old that was separated at the border was separated because her mother was a member — or a potential member — of a child-smuggling ring . ” However , U.S. Customs and Border Protection said she was a " material witness " , not being charged with illegal entry . Lewandowski met his future wife Alison Hardy when he was in ninth grade and she was in eighth grade . In 1998 , Hardy married Brian Kinney , but Kinney was killed on September 11 , 2001 , after Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked his flight , United Airlines 175 , and flew it into the South Tower of the World Trade Center . Four years later , in 2005 , Lewandowski married Hardy . Together they have four children
