NextImg:House Judiciary Democrats ask FBI and DOJ for evidence of Homan bribe

House Judiciary ranking member Jamie Raskin sent a letter to the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation demanding recordings from “Border Czar” Tom Homan’s alleged bribe scandal.

Homan allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash bribes from undercover FBI agents stuffed in a Cava takeout bag following an agreement to help the agents, posing as business executives, lock down a large government contract.

The letter comes as the Trump administration recently shut down the investigation into Homan. Homan, the former acting head of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was reported as having traveled to Texas to receive the cash. In exchange for payment, he was said to have promised to give out contacts if President Donald Trump won the election.

“Confirmed by six sources and reportedly captured on recordings now in the DOJ and FBI’s possession, this startling episode is powerful evidence that Mr. Homan may have committed multiple federal felonies, including conspiracy to commit bribery,” the Democrats wrote.

“Your reported effort to shut down this investigation appears to be a brazen cover-up to protect Donald Trump’s allies, at a time when the DOJ and FBI are also being ordered to aggressively pursue prosecution of Donald Trump’s political enemies,” it continued.

Once Trump took office this year, then-acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove indicated that he did not support the investigation moving forward after he was briefed on the issue.

“I did nothing criminal,” Homan said Monday on “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News.

Judiciary Democrats called this “cover-up” to be “utterly shocking.” The letter references a similar situation during the Reagan administration, in which E. Robert Wallach was convicted. They wrote that the DOJ “has no credibility left” after the handling of the files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

They demanded that a list of alleged evidence be handed over to the committee by Sept. 29. Democrats are in the minority in the House, meaning they do not have the power to issue subpoenas and compel documents from the administration.

LEAVITT DEFENDS HOMAN AMID $50K BRIBE ALLEGATION: FBI TRIED TO ‘ENTRAP’ TRUMP ALLY

“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,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during a briefing at the White House Monday afternoon.

“You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president’s top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well would be taking a government position months later,” Leavitt said.

The Washington Examiner reached out to the FBI and DOJ for comment, but did not hear back.
