“So, two on the Homan investigation, I mean, can you just speak to, did the President ask the Justice Department to close the case? And does Homan have to return the $50,000?” a reporter asked.
According to MSNBC, the FBI recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating 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, for the obvious reason that MAGA never prosecutes its own. Corruption is fine with Trump as long as its done by his cronies.
“Well, Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to, so you should get your facts straight, number one,” snapped Leavitt. “Number two, this was another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign.”
According to the reporting and contrary to Leavitt’s claim, Homan did in fact accept the money packed into a bag, like a cartoonish satire of a bribe. The incredibly idiotic move is in perfect keeping with what we’ve come to expect from this buffoonish fascist ogre.
“You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the President’s top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well would be taking a government position months later,” Leavitt went on, desperately trying to spin the story.
Of course, Homan could have simply refused the bribe money, at which point the investigation would have ended. Nobody forced him to take the money.
“Mr. Homan did absolutely nothing wrong,” Leavitt claimed. “And even the President’s Department of Justice, even Kash Patel’s FBI, looked into this just to make sure. They had a number of different prosecutors and FBI agents who looked into this.”
“They found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing,” she insisted. “And the White House and the President stand by Tom Homan 100% because he did absolutely nothing wrong. And he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job in helping the President shut down the border.”
At this point, only a fool would believe that this Justice Department is operating with the law in mind. They continue to cover up the Jeffrey Epstein scandal to protect Trump and now the president is coercing them into targeting his political enemies. When Democrats retake control of Congress, they must immediately reopen the probe into Homan and push for prosecution.
