Trump aide Homan accepted $50,000 in bribery sting operation: Reuters

  • Tom Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the Trump administration, accepted a $50,000 bribe last year from an undercover FBI agent.
  • The bribery probe began around August 2024 as part of a national security investigation involving an FBI sting operation, and the investigation has since been closed.
  • Sources reported that Homan allegedly secured immigration-related government contracts as a condition of receiving money upon entering the Trump administration, and that the administration concealed the recording to shield him.
  • Rep. Pramila Jayapal described the current administration as unprecedentedly corrupt, while Patel and Blanche condemned the investigation as a clearly politically motivated effort by the Biden Department of Justice aimed at targeting President Trump's allies.
  • The closed bribery probe sparked calls from Democrats for congressional hearings demanding the full investigative file and accountability from DOJ and FBI regarding the case.
