White House denies border tsar Tom Homan accepted $50,000 bribe

The White House has firmly rejected reports that border tsar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe during an FBI undercover sting operation last year. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt characterized the investigation as a politically motivated attempt by the Biden administration to target one of President Trump's vocal supporters, claiming Homan "did absolutely nothing wrong. " Current FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly ordered an investigation that found "zero evidence of illegal activity," and the administration maintains that Homan was not involved in awarding any contracts.
