Biden's FBI tried to entrap Tom Homan, but he never took $50,000 bribe: Leavitt
The White House calls investigation 'blatantly political.'
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down allegations that border czar Tom Homan had accepted a cash bribe from FBI agents under the Biden administration.
Reports from legacy media surfaced over the weekend that the FBI last year recorded Homan taking $50,000 from undercover agents who were posing as business executives. In exchange for the cash, Homan allegedly agreed to help them obtain government contracts once he secured a role with the second Trump administration.
'You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well would be taking a government position months later.'
Homan became a target of the Biden administration's FBI after "a subject in a separate investigation" claimed that Homan was "soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the presidential election," MSNBC reported, citing an internal Justice Department summary.
MSNBC accused President Donald Trump of delaying the previous administration's FBI and Justice Department in the case, ultimately leading to its shutdown.
