I am deeply concerned about the recent revelations regarding the FBI investigation into Tom Homan, the White House border czar, and the subsequent closure of this case by Trump administration appointees. The facts surrounding this matter are deeply troubling and demand immediate attention.
In September 2024, Mr. Homan allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives. This payment was reportedly in exchange for assistance in securing government contracts in a potential second Trump administration. The FBI initiated this investigation based on claims that Homan was actively soliciting payments for contract awards, a clear violation of ethical standards and potentially federal law.
What's even more alarming is that this serious investigation was abruptly closed in early 2025, shortly after President Trump's inauguration. The dismissal of such a significant case, involving potential charges of conspiracy or fraud, as "politically motivated" raises serious questions about the integrity of our justice system and the commitment to rooting out corruption at the highest levels of government.
I urge you to take immediate action to reopen this investigation and ensure a thorough, impartial examination of the evidence. The American people deserve transparency and accountability, especially when it comes to potential bribery and corruption in our government. The fact that Mr. Homan accepted such a substantial sum of money in exchange for promises of future favors is deeply concerning and merits a complete investigation.
Furthermore, I request that you initiate a broader inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the closure of this investigation. We need to understand who made the decision to close the case, on what grounds, and whether there was any improper influence exerted to protect Mr. Homan.
Time is of the essence. Every day that passes without action on this matter erodes public trust in our institutions. I implore you to act swiftly and decisively to restore faith in our justice system and ensure that no one, regardless of their position or political connections, is above the law.
Your immediate attention to this matter is crucial for maintaining the integrity of our democracy and the rule of law.
