US President Donald Trump’s immigration advisor Tom Homan, dubbed the White House “border czar,” has strongly denied allegations that he accepted $50,000 in cash to help secure government contracts. “It is b******t,” Homan told NewsNation’s Libbey Dean when pressed on the accusation, according to The Hill.An MSNBC exclusive, citing internal documents and people familiar with the matter, reported that Homan — unaware he was under investigation — was recorded by undercover FBI agents in September 2024 accepting $50,000. Agents posed as businessmen after Homan suggested he could help them win contracts if Trump returned to power. The FBI and Justice Department then monitored whether Homan would follow through, but closed the case shortly after Trump’s second term began in January.“This matter originated under the previous administration and was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing,” FBI director Kash Patel and US deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said in a joint statement. Administration officials dismissed the probe as “politically motivated.” Homan, 63, briefly led the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in an interim capacity during Trump’s first term and has remained a key figure in shaping the president’s immigration agenda, including plans for mass deportations.On November 11 last year, just days after defeating then-Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, Trump appointed Homan as his “border czar.” The role, being purely advisory, did not require Senate confirmation or a full FBI background check.
