Homan outright denies taking $50,000 bribe ‘from anybody’

Tom Homan denies taking a $50,000 bribe despite video claims; FBI and Justice Department found no credible evidence and closed the investigation in 2024.

  • On Wednesday, Tom Homan, border czar, publicly denied accepting cash during a NewsNation town hall, marking his first direct public rejection of the allegation.
  • An MSNBC report found a 2024 probe began after a tip that Homan solicited payments, with undercover FBI agents allegedly offering $50,000 in a pre-office sting last month.
  • According to reporting, the FBI allegedly recorded video showing Tom Homan taking cash, a point critics highlighted online, while the White House defended Homan’s conduct as aboveboard.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced in September that the Department of Justice closed the investigation, while Vice President JD Vance declined to confirm if Homan kept the $50,000 payment.
