The White House is fighting back after a bombshell report claimed one of President Trump’s top allies was caught in a bribery investigation.
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted the allegations against Border Czar Tom Homan, calling them a “politically motivated smear campaign” designed to derail Trump’s bold plans to secure America’s borders and crack down on illegal immigration.
“This story is completely false. Mr. Homan never took a $50,000 bribe — period, end of story,” Leavitt told reporters. “The Biden Department of Justice went to outrageous lengths to try and frame one of President Trump’s strongest allies, and it failed miserably.”
Biden DOJ Tried to Take Down Trump Ally
According to MSNBC, Biden’s FBI agents went undercover in September of last year, allegedly offering Homan a $50,000 cash payment in exchange for government contracts once Trump returned to the White House.
The case collapsed immediately after Trump’s stunning 2024 victory, when Trump appointees reviewed the investigation and determined there was “zero evidence of criminal activity.”
Leavitt said this was yet another example of how Democrats weaponized the DOJ and FBI during the election to silence Trump supporters.
“They targeted Mr. Homan because they knew he would play a critical role in restoring law and order at the border,” she said. “Multiple prosecutors and FBI agents reviewed the case, and they all reached the same conclusion — Tom Homan did absolutely nothing wrong.”
Democrats Go Into Attack Mode
Despite the facts, Democrats are pouncing on the report to score political points.
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) posted on X, demanding that Trump’s DOJ turn over tapes related to the investigation:
“Was this investigation shut down by Attorney General Pam Bondi or FBI Director Kash Patel? The American people deserve answers.” - Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) went even further, claiming Homan was “caught on camera” accepting bribes — but offered no proof to back up his explosive accusation.
Homan himself dismissed the allegations in blunt terms, calling them “pure bulls—” and a desperate attempt to damage President Trump’s immigration agenda.
White House Stands Firm
Despite the attacks, President Trump and his team are standing firmly by Homan’s side.
“The White House and President Trump stand by Tom Homan 100%,” Leavitt declared. “He is a patriot who has spent his life defending our borders and protecting American families.”
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also released a joint statement confirming that “no credible evidence of wrongdoing” was ever found.
Why This Matters for America
This fight is bigger than Tom Homan — it’s about protecting America’s sovereignty and exposing how far Democrats and the mainstream media will go to destroy President Trump’s America First agenda.
Trump has promised to restore law and order at the border, deport criminal illegal aliens, and stop the chaos caused by Biden’s open-border policies.
But this controversy proves that political elites in Washington are willing to use smear campaigns and fake investigations to protect their power.
Bottom Line
As Trump continues his mission to take back control of America’s borders, his opponents are getting more desperate.
Democrats and the media know that if Trump succeeds, their globalist agenda collapses — and they will stop at nothing to take down his closest allies.
Patriots across the country are watching closely, because what happens next could determine the future of America’s border security and our nation’s survival.
