Democrats demand answers on Homan bribery investigation
Share and Follow


Democrats are expressing outrage over a reported probe involving White House border czar Tom Homan and an undercover operation last year in which he was recorded taking $50,000.

“Did Trump’s DOJ shut down this bribery investigation? Was it Attorney General Bondi or FBI Director Patel? The act was caught on camera. The administration must turn over the tapes to Congress,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Sunday in a post on the social platform X.

“Every decision made by Homan must be scrutinized for possible corruption,” she added.

On Saturday, Homan used profanity when denying reports alleging he got $50,000 for contract awards in September 2024. When responding to a question on the allegations from NewsNation’s Libbey Dean, the border czar said it was “bulls‑‑‑.”

“Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes – on camera – to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Saturday in an X post.

“And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft,” the Golden State senator added.

Citing internal documents and several people who took part in the probe, MSNBC said Homan — as part of a 2024 undercover operation — was recorded taking $50,000 from agents pretending to be business people.

According to the outlet, Homan took such action after signaling he could assist the agents win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

Six sources close to the matter told MSNBC the FBI and Justice Department planned to see if the border czar would commit to his promise, but that the case halted when President Trump secured the White House again. MSNBC reported that Trump appointees eventually closed the case.

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D) said Saturday on X that “we cannot become numb to this type of corruption.”

“This is a senior official in charge of stewarding taxpayer dollars. We need access to this FBI case file, and then review the taxpayer dollars that Tom Homan has overseen at the White House,” she added.

When reached for comment, the FBI said it “declines to comment on the” Democratic lawmakers’ social media comments.

The Hill has reached out to the White House, Justice Department and the United States Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit for comment.
