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.

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.

Last year, former ICE director Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, was caught on tape accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives.

Despite initial intent to monitor his actions in office, Trump appointees officially closed the probe, citing lack of evidence and political motivations, while Homan dismissed the allegations as politically motivated.
