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.”

It seems this sort of thing has become standard operating procedure for the left to attack their opponents.
Attempted entrapment. I figured as much when the story broke.
Homan may give the physical appearance that he just fell off the turnip truck, but he is one of the sharpest cookies Trump has appointed.
Homan could smell a swamp rat a mile away.
This needs to be tracked down to the sources and people need to be imprisoned for life and ALL of their property confiscated to pay for their trial and imprisonment.
So was it Chris Wray again or Comey - two really bad cops that got away with it all.
The real question is who planted the story? It sounds like there are still democrat moles in the agency leaking information who need to be fired. Kash still has more housecleaning to do.
$50,000 for a BRIBE????????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
What a cheap bunch of bastards!
I have more than that in my checking account!.............
They can’t defeat us in the realm of ideas, so they seek to destroy us.
Ask Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk just how serious they are about destruction.
I guess now I need to make a Patel gif?
The real question is “who offered the bribe”? Is that not a crime?
Face it...... She is better than you. Better looking also
They are out to get him.
They need to be destroyed.
The latest bomb from Acme! Looks like the Coyote would give up.
“who offered the bribe”
That is the $50,000 question.
Who offered the bribe ?
Who ordered that a bribe be attempted ?
Do any of the people involved in this bribe attempt still work for the US Government ? If so, why ?
Oh, how about firing every FBI agent and official involved in the entrapment operation? Fire the Whitmer kidnap FBI operatives too. What’s the hold up on the J6 FBI goons?
The entire premise of this story is stupid and illogical.
Even the most simple-minded of us would not risk imprisonment or loss of a job for a sum of money that wouldn’t keep a crack-head in pocket for very long!
50G’s won’t even buy you a nice car nowadays!
Msnbc is all over this SCANDAL!!! BOMBSHELL!! Fake but accurate.
Tom Homan is doing what he loves to do and was born to do.
This is his super bowl moment in life.
I bet he would do this job for free.
He won’t take a bribe.
Put nothing beyond the sociopathic DIMs/LIBs. They as a whole are pathetic.
