<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied Monday that President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, took a $50,000 cash bribe from FBI agents posing as businessmen.</p>
<p>Undercover agents attempted to sway Homan into agreeing to accept the money in exchange for help securing government contracts once President Donald Trump returned to office during a meeting in Texas on September 20, 2024, according to <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tom-homan-cash-contracts-trump-doj-investigation-rcna232568" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC</a>.</p>
<p>The FBI and Department of Justice then waited to see if Homan would help secure the contracts once he entered the White House, according to the news outlet. The Trump administration closed the investigation after FBI Director Kash Patel requested an update on the probe.</p>
<p>During Monday’s White House press briefing, Leavitt hit back at a reporter who asked if the former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief has “to return the $50,000.”</p>

<p>Karoline Leavitt fires back at a reporter over her question on Tom Homan allegedly taking a $50,000 bribe. <a href="https://t.co/OpVMVVfypw">pic.twitter.com/OpVMVVfypw</a></p>
<p>— Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1970182644261409138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to, so you should get your facts straight, number one. Number two, this was another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign,” Leavitt said.</p>
<p>Leavitt also asserted that the FBI agents attempted to “entrap &#8230; someone who they knew very well could be taking a government position months later.”</p>
<p>“Mr. Homan did absolutely nothing wrong, and even the president’s Department of Justice, even Kash Patel’s FBI looked into this just to make sure they had a number of different prosecutors and FBI agents who looked into this, they found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing and the White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100% because he did absolutely nothing wrong and he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job in helping the president shut down the border,” she said.</p>
<p>In a statement to MSNBC, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the probe “was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors” who “found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing.”</p>
<p>“The Department’s resources must remain focused on real threats to the American people, not baseless investigations. As a result, the investigation has been closed,” they said.</p>
<p>The Biden administration launched its investigation in the summer of 2024 after the subject of a separate probe alleged that Homan was offering contracts in exchange for payments if Trump were to win the election, according to MSNBC.</p>
<p>A colleague introduced the undercover FBI agents to Homan, who indicated he would help them once he entered the White House, according to the report.</p>
