US EditionJustice Department Ended Bribery Investigation Involving Former Border Official Tom Homan: Report
The Justice Department closed the FBI probe citing insufficient evidence to charge Tom Homan despite a recorded $50,000 cash exchange with undercover agents in a corruption sting.
- On Sept. 20, 2024 hidden cameras recorded Tom Homan accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents at a Texas meeting spot.
- A summer 2024 tip prompted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate after a subject in a separate investigation alleged Homan solicited payments to award contracts.
- Several FBI and Justice Department officials believed audio and video recordings supported a conspiracy to commit bribery, internal documents reviewed by MSNBC indicate.
- In recent weeks, Trump Justice Department appointees closed the investigation after finding no credible evidence, while Democrats in Congress demanded disclosure and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied Homan took the $50,000.
- The timing matters because Tom Homan was announced border czar on Nov. 11, 2024, and the probe stalled soon after Trump returned in January; legal experts say Homan could face conspiracy or fraud charges.
