Federal records and statements confirm that the FBI, under Joe Biden’s administration, attempted an undercover sting operation targeting incoming Border Czar Tom Homan.
The effort, carried out last year, has now drawn scrutiny after officials confirmed no wrongdoing was ever found.
According to documentation, FBI agents posed as businessmen offering Homan a $50,000 payment in exchange for assistance with contracts under a future Trump administration.
The operation was initiated while Biden’s team still oversaw the bureau.
We should really be talking more about how Joe Biden’s FBI sent an undercover informant to spy on Tom Homan. That informant tried to set Homan up.
Has that FBI agent been fired? @FBIDirectorKash @dbongino
How come nobody is demanding that the FBI agent be fired for…

When FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reviewed the matter, they dismissed it as baseless.
In a joint statement, they said, “This matter originated under the previous administration. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing.”
The attempted sting came during the period when Homan was advising President Trump’s 2024 campaign and was widely expected to hold a senior role if Trump returned to office.

The timing has led to accusations that the operation was politically motivated.
Despite the lack of evidence, MSNBC published a report presenting the case in a way that implied misconduct.
Its headline read: “Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump’s DOJ shut it down.”
Critics argue the framing of the story suggested wrongdoing when, in fact, none was found.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the matter during Monday’s daily press briefing.
“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to. So you should get your facts straight, number one,” Leavitt said.
She continued, “Number two, 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.”
Leavitt further emphasized that the FBI agents had deliberately gone undercover to try to implicate Homan.
“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,” she said.
The press secretary added that the review by federal officials made the outcome clear.
“They found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing. And the White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100% because he did absolutely nothing wrong, and he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job in helping the president shut down the border.”
Karoline Leavitt quickly shuts down a reporter accusing Tom Homan of taking a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents.
“You should GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.”

The FBI’s attempt to implicate Homan has reignited broader concerns over the use of federal agencies against political figures.
Over the past several years, critics have pointed to repeated investigations of President Trump and his associates as evidence of political bias within the Department of Justice.
In this instance, officials found no basis for charges, yet the media framing of the case suggested otherwise.
The White House maintains that the episode reflects a pattern of using federal resources against President Trump and his allies, only to have those efforts collapse under review.
The failed sting against Homan, followed by contested media coverage, has now become part of the ongoing debate over accountability at federal law enforcement agencies and the role of the press in reporting on politically charged investigations.

I believe there still are one or two legally qualified “Lawyers” within President Trumps’ Administration ?
Perhaps one of them could be persuaded to consider bringing charges against “Media Outlets” that knowingly run deceptive and potentially damaging FALSE stories attacking ANY of this Administrations’ people – in fact, come to think of it – against ANY MAGA / Pro-Trump person in the country ?
Knowing that this Damocles Sword is in existence could actually trim the Balance of Justice back in favour of real genuine “Justice” where TRUTH actually has a VALUE !
With “Damages” and “Costs” being limited to less than One Trillion Dollars per “Count” – who knows – we just might even see REAL JUSTICE returning to COURTS in the USA ? !!
