Homan Cash Scandal: White House Defends Border Czar | JQJO

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt vehemently defended border czar Tom Homan after reports surfaced of him accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents. Leavitt insisted Homan did nothing wrong and that the investigation, deemed baseless by Trump appointees, was politically motivated. Homan himself denied any wrongdoing, while Democrats called for a congressional investigation into his actions. The incident occurred during a sting operation that was not initially targeting Homan, but his acceptance of the money sparked a probe into potential bribery. The investigation was later closed.
