I urge you to call immediate hearings on the Department of Justice’s decision to close the bribery investigation into Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan. Undercover FBI agents in September 2024 allegedly handed Homan a grocery bag containing $50,000 in cash. In return, Homan promised to steer lucrative border security contracts their way if Trump returned to power. Despite this evidence, the Trump DOJ has now shut down the investigation. Congress must insist on public hearings with subpoena power, testimony from DOJ and FBI officials, and release of all investigative materials. The integrity of our justice system depends on showing that no one is above the law. I am deeply concerned by this administration’s culture of using power for profit and thinking it’s how the game is played, if you’re smart. I much rather government officials that play the game ethically.
