Trump Border Czar Allegedly Took $50K Bribe in FBI Sting
In September 2024, former border czar Tom Homan was recorded accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents posing as executives seeking government contracts. The investigation, originating from a separate counterintelligence probe, was closed due to insufficient evidence of a specific agreement in exchange for the cash. Despite this, a White House spokesperson criticized the probe as politically motivated, though Homan had stated he would not be involved in specific contract decisions. Prior to this, Homan had been paid by a construction firm that had secured a contract for border wall construction.
