The Justice Department has quietly shuttered a corruption probe into Border Czar Tom Homan after the Trump administration took control.
Story Highlights
- FBI sting operation allegedly captured Homan accepting $50,000 cash bribe on video in September 2024
- Biden administration initiated corruption investigation that was dropped immediately after Trump returned to office
- Trump officials denounce probe as political weaponization, claiming Homan never accepted the money
- Investigation closure raises serious questions about DOJ independence and selective enforcement of justice
Biden Administration’s Politically Motivated Investigation
The FBI conducted a sting operation in September 2024 targeting Tom Homan, Trump’s designated border czar and former ICE director. Reports indicate federal agents allegedly captured video evidence of Homan receiving $50,000 in cash during the operation. The Biden administration’s Justice Department launched a full investigation following the incident, positioning it as part of their broader effort to target Trump associates ahead of the 2024 election.

Trump Administration Exposes Deep State Tactics
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully defended Homan, stating he “never took the $50,000” and condemning the investigation as a clear example of DOJ “weaponization.” The Trump administration’s swift closure of the probe after taking office in January 2025 demonstrates their commitment to ending the politically motivated prosecutions that characterized the Biden era. This decisive action protects a key immigration enforcement official from baseless attacks designed to undermine border security efforts.
Pattern of Selective Enforcement Emerges
The Homan case follows a disturbing pattern of the Biden DOJ launching investigations against Trump allies while ignoring actual corruption within their own ranks. The timing of both the alleged sting operation and the investigation’s initiation raises serious concerns about federal law enforcement being used as a political weapon. Patriots recognize this as part of the same corrupt system that targeted President Trump himself through multiple bogus investigations and prosecutions.
Constitutional Concerns Over Justice Department Independence
The closure of this investigation without charges, despite reported video evidence from an FBI sting, highlights the dangerous politicization of federal law enforcement. When investigations are launched and dropped based solely on which administration controls the White House, it undermines the rule of law and public trust in our institutions. This selective enforcement threatens the constitutional principle of equal justice under law that conservatives have long defended against deep state manipulation.
The Homan investigation represents everything wrong with the Biden administration’s approach to justice – using federal agencies to attack political opponents while protecting their own allies from accountability. President Trump’s decision to end this witch hunt restores proper priorities to the Justice Department and allows Homan to focus on securing America’s borders without politically motivated distractions.
