Border czar recorded taking $50,000; case closed
AllegedLast checked Oct 5, 2026
Alleged means: Serious, credible accusations of illegality that no court or watchdog has decided yet.
Tom Homan was recorded by undercover FBI agents in 2024 accepting $50,000 in a Cava bag while appearing to agree to help them win government contracts if Trump won.
What happened
FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the investigation closed in 2025. Homan now oversees the administration's mass-deportation campaign.
Where it stands
No charges. Some prosecutors doubted a case could be made because Homan wasn't in government at the time.
The administration's side
Patel and Blanche said a full review found no credible evidence of wrongdoing, and the White House says Homan has not been involved in awarding contracts.
