According to a report from MSNBC, FBI agents recorded Tom Homan, who was later named President Donald Trump's border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents posing as business executives on Sept. 20, 2024, at a meeting location in Texas.

The federal investigation originated in western Texas during the summer of 2024 after a subject in a separate counterintelligence probe claimed Homan was soliciting payments in exchange for awarding border security contracts if Trump won the election.

Homan allegedly promised the undercover agents he would help them secure government contracts related to border enforcement once he joined the Trump administration.

The Justice Department's Public Integrity Section joined the investigation in November 2024, following Trump's announcement of Homan as border czar. Prosecutors initially considered charges including conspiracy, bribery and fraud.

Trump administration officials closed the investigation in early 2025, as former Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove expressed skepticism about the case and referred to it as a "deep state" operation in February.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated they found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing and closed the case, citing insufficient evidence to prove specific acts in exchange for money.

The evidence shows a textbook bribery scheme caught on tape -- Homan accepting $50,000 in cash while promising government contracts once in power. Multiple FBI and Justice officials believed they had a strong criminal case for conspiracy to commit bribery before Trump appointees shut it down and dismissed it as "deep state." The investigation was closed prematurely before agents could gather additional evidence of whether Homan delivered on his promises after taking office.

This investigation is a clear case of political weaponization by the Biden Justice Department against Trump allies. The timing is highly suspicious — launching a sting operation just weeks before the 2024 election, targeting someone who wasn't even in government at the time. After a thorough and exhaustive review, career prosecutors found zero credible evidence of wrongdoing, proving this was nothing more than a politically motivated fishing expedition designed to smear Trump's incoming team and manipulate public opinion.

Homan should be terminated immediately and face charges. Kash Patel should be suspended while impeachment proceedings are underway, and all individuals involved in this cover-up should be held fully accountable.
