Investigate Possible Failure of Justice in Tom Homan Case
I urge you to investigate what appears to be a serious failure of justice in the handling of a federal bribery sting involving Tom Homan, now serving as President Trump’s Border Czar. Reports state that in September 2024 undercover FBI agents gave Mr. Homan $50,000 in cash in exchange for a promise of help with immigration enforcement contracts if Trump returned to office. The exchange was reportedly recorded. Yet after the change of administrations, the Department of Justice and the FBI - under the leadership of Kash Patel and Todd Blanche - abruptly closed the case, declaring there was “no credible evidence.”
Explain Why a Recorded Cash Bribe Was Not Prosecuted
The public has a right to know why a bribery sting that included a cash payment and recording was dropped without charges. If the reasoning was that Mr. Homan was not formally in government at the time, why was the sting conducted at all? Did prosecutors initially believe that bribery or contracting laws applied, only to reverse course later? Americans deserve clarity on why evidence that looks like bribery to the average citizen was deemed unprosecutable.
Investigate Whether Political Pressure Influenced DOJ and FBI
The timing of the closure raises serious questions about political interference. Did senior officials shut down this case because it involved a top ally of the President? Were prosecutors or agents pressured to alter or withhold their findings? If so, that represents a threat to the rule of law and the equal application of justice. Congress must uncover whether the decision to end the case was based on law or politics.
Hold Hearings and Demand Full Disclosure
I urge you to call hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary and Oversight Committees to examine this matter in detail. Testimony should include FBI agents, DOJ prosecutors, and officials who ordered the closure. Congress should demand production of the undercover recordings, DOJ memoranda, and legal analyses justifying the decision. Only with this scrutiny can confidence be restored that the justice system is functioning impartially.
Protect the Integrity of the Rule of Law
If a case like this can be shut down despite recorded evidence of a cash payoff, Americans cannot be assured that justice is applied equally. This is not about politics - it is about safeguarding the independence of federal law enforcement and ensuring that no person, no matter how powerful or well connected, is above the law. I strongly urge you to shine a light on this case and hold all responsible parties to account.
