The White House press secretary on Monday shot down media reports accusing President Donald Trump’s border czar of accepting a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents last year, telling reporters “the president stands by Tom Homan 100 percent.”
MSNBC reported on Saturday that Homan was caught on tape accepting a bag filled with the cash from federal agents as part of an undercover operation in Texas during the heat of the 2024 election.
According to the report, written by RussiaGate hoaxers Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian, Homan took the bribe in exchange for helping the agents win government contracts in a second Trump administration.
During the White House press briefing Monday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if President Trump had asked the Justice Department to close the case, and whether Homan would be returning the alleged bribe.
“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 you’re referring to so you should get your facts straight, number one,” Leavitt replied.
“Number two, this was another example of the weaponization by the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign,” she continued. “You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president’s top allies and supporters, someone they knew very well would be taking a government position months later. Mr. Homan did absolutely nothing wrong.”
Leavitt said the Trump Department of Justice had FBI agents and prosecutors investigate the allegations and “they found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing.”
“The White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100 percent because he did absolutely nothing wrong and he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job on helping the president shut down the border,” she declared.
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement to the Hill Saturday that “this matter originated under the previous administration and was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing.”
Homan himself called the allegations “bullsh-t.”
I could go on, but don't need to.

“I’ve seen a lot on TV.” Private Bondi
And we’ve seen a lot of her on TV. When does she start doing prosecuting?
My thought also. I love Homan...he takes sh** from no one.
Without an FBI there would be less crime.
“”was caught on tape accepting a bag filled with the cash from federal agents””
What on earth proof did they have before running with a story like that? Schiff with his “I HAVE THE EVIDENCE”????
Anyone remember ABSCAM? THAT was proof! Or the congressman who hid bribe money in his freezer - Jefferson (?)....
There should definitely be charges and convictions for anyone contributing to this fiction...from administration officials to those reporting it. If reporters aren’t shown PROOF, kill the story!
And the same rats are in the FIB now. It is an irredeemable organization. Every agent and employee must be fired, the building burn to ash, and the ashes used as a urinal. The same democrat FIB operatives are still in there scheming and plotting to take out Trump and his administration, oppress the enemies of the democrats, and protect the rotten criminals in the democrat party.
The FIB agents were probably the ones who paid for Hunter’s “artwork” with sanitized foreign dollars.
F’n LIARS!
You can buy a Cadillac XT5 for $50,000.

Slander case
the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation.

The FBI is a cancer on the Republic.
Yet, the local ABC station WMUR in Manchester, NH continues to post on Facebook that Holman accepted a bribe.
IMHO, Holman should bring a lawsuit for libel against them. Just like Trump did. This is the only way you stop the MSM from blatantly lying.
Stations like WMUR are the most liberal piece of crap journalism around. They constantly post on social media like Facebook to promote Dem candidates. Then promote lies like this against any conservative.
If some guys meet with you and offer a bag of cash, there are two possibilities. One is that they are drug dealers or two, they are FBI turds attempting a set up. If you aren’t nor ever have been involved with the drug scene, then the bag men are FBI or some other alphabet agency.
Find out what FBI agent perpetrated this bullshit entrapment and fire him or her.
Adding to that lie is KTLA channel 5 news saying this morning Holman accepted the bribe and was under FIB investigation. Yes he should sue big time.
“Do any of the people involved in this bribe attempt still work for the US Government ? If so, why?”
Well, duh, obviously the Executive Branch is full of people who wouldn’t think twice about subverting the legal government.
Why? Because like any underground resistance organization they’re everywhere and nowhere, with good opsec and lots of support.
Nothing will hurt the republicans more at the midterms than the lack of indictments. Seems to me there are a few open & shut cases for perjury, fraud, etc.
Someone needs to go to jail...and not some low-level desk jockey no one has ever heard of.
Not trying to entrap him!!!
Everybody in Bidenland took bribes. It was just a sharing offer.
