Investigate Trump Border Czar's Bribery Scandal

Donald Trump’s handpicked Border Czar, Tom Homan, built his career as a hardline enforcer of “law and order.” He once sneered that “it’s not OK to violate the laws of this country.” 

But now, multiple outlets report that undercover FBI agents caught Homan himself accepting cash bribes and promising lucrative government contracts in exchange for political favors.

The Department of Justice under Trump has already moved to quietly close this investigation. That is a brazen act of political protection for one of Trump’s closest allies — and it reeks of corruption at the highest levels.

The House and Senate Judiciary Committees have a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight of the Justice Department. They must hold immediate hearings to uncover why this investigation was buried and who is responsible for shielding Homan from accountability.

This scandal exposes the staggering hypocrisy of Trump’s border regime. For years, Homan oversaw policies that ripped families apart and deported people for minor infractions. Now we learn that he himself may have committed crimes far more serious than those he condemned, all while lining his pockets with cash. If Trump’s Justice Department refuses to act, then Congress must step in to hold hearings and demand a full, independent investigation.

Even worse, reports suggest that top Trump allies Pam Bondi and Kash Patel knew about this bribery scheme and could be directly implicated in the cover-up. That means Congress must subpoena Bondi, Patel, and Homan himself, and question them under oath about both the bribery and the attempts to sweep it under the rug.

Every day that this scandal goes unexamined sends a dangerous message: that those in Trump’s inner circle are above the law. That cannot stand in a democracy. Equal justice under the law must apply to presidents, cabinet officials, and czars just as much as to the rest of us.

We must act now to stop this cover-up and demand real justice. Sign today to insist on a full congressional investigation into Tom Homan’s bribery scandal.
