Border Czar Tom Homan is now flatly denying he ever took $50,000 from an undercover FBI agent — after his previous comments on the allegations sidestepped that point.
Appearing at a NewsNation town hall Wednesday, co-moderator Bill O’Reilly pressed Homan about the reports that he accepted $50,000 in a bag from an undercover agent as part of an FBI investigation, and that the transaction was caught on audio tape.
“Do you want to clarify anything about that situation?” O’Reilly asked.
“I didn’t take $50,000 from anybody,” Homan replied.
“How did that get into the mainstream, do you think?” O’Reilly asked.
“I have no idea,” Homan responded. “Look, there’s been hit pieces on me since I came back to this administration. There’s got to be 30, 40 hit pieces about me, about how I’m involved with the contract intergovernmental contracts, when in fact… Day one, I came back. I recused myself from any discussions, any contract, or any monetary decisions like that because I used to have a company that did consulting. So I cleared myself day one. What people don’t talk about is I took a significant, huge pay cut to come back and serve my nation. And I’m not enriching myself doing this job.”
The comments are the first known instance in which Homan has denied accepting the cash. In his first comments after the reports surfaced, Homan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham he did not commit an illegal act, but never said he didn’t take cash.
“Look, I did nothing criminal. I did nothing illegal,” responded Homan. “It’s hit piece after hit piece after hit piece and I’m glad the FBI and DOJ came out and said, you know, said that nothing illegal happened, no criminal activity.”
Subsequent comments from Homan on the allegations struck a similar note, and likewise did not include an explicit denial that he accepted money. According to the reports, Homan allegedly told two undercover FBI agents posing as business executives that he could win government contracts in a second Trump administration, which led to the alleged exchange of cash.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has gone on record denying Homan took the $50,000, while Attorney General Pam Bondi was evasive on questions about the alleged payoff when she recently testified under oath before the Senate Judicary Committee.
