“Did Trump’s DOJ shut down this bribery investigation? Was it Attorney General Bondi or FBI Director Patel? The act was caught on camera. The administration must turn over the tapes to Congress,” Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote on X. “Every decision made by Homan must be scrutinized for possible corruption.”
According to MSNBC, the FBI recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash after he indicated that he could help the agents (who he believed to be business executives) win lucrative government contracts during the second Trump administration. The case stalled out once Trump was sworn in because MAGA never prosecutes or holds its own accountable. Corruption is acceptable to this president so long as it’s done by Republicans.
“Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes – on camera – to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew,” Senator Adam Schiff wrote on X .
“And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft,” he added.
“We cannot become numb to this type of corruption. This is a senior official in charge of stewarding taxpayer dollars,” Senator Elissa Slotkin wrote on X. “We need access to this FBI case file, and then review the taxpayer dollars that Tom Homan has overseen at the White House.”
In another post, she wrote: “Release the Homan files and the tapes.
This crime cannot be allowed to slide. It’s one of the most stunning incidents of blatant corruption in American history. Homan needs to be investigated, prosecuted, and locked up for this.
