A Department of Justice investigation into Tom Homan, President Trump's "border czar," was shut down. Undercover FBI agents recorded Homan allegedly accepting $50,000 in cash, with a promise to help obtain government contracts if Trump won the 2024 election. The investigation, launched under the Biden administration, continued into the Trump administration before being closed. While the DOJ and FBI cited lack of credible evidence of wrongdoing, concerns remain about potential politicization of the Justice Department. The White House defended Homan, criticizing the investigation as politically motivated.
