President Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, is under fire amid reports he was the target of an FBI sting in 2024 that revolved around a $50,000 cash bribe.
Multiple outlets, citing a scoop by investigative journalist Carol Leonnig, report that federal agents filmed Homan allegedly taking a bag of cash from undercover FBI operatives posing as contractors. The sting took place ahead of the 2024 election, but despite video evidence and internal debate over charges, the case was dropped once Trump returned to the White House.
The FBI reportedly held off on immediate prosecution, intending to see whether Homan would follow through on the alleged promise of influence. Ultimately, the investigation was dropped, with no charges filed.
The revelations triggered a firestorm online. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly brushed off the allegations on X, praising Homan as a “national treasure” and warning critics not to “bother” him.
Replying to Leonnig’s post, Kelly blasted out on X: “We DO NOT CARE. Don’t bother @RealTomHoman he’s a national treasure.”
When Tim Miller of The Bulwark challenged her stance, Kelly responded by accusing the media and the Department of Justice of double standards and politically motivated prosecutions. She referenced broader grievances, including alleged overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic, censorship, biased media coverage, and border mismanagement.
Not content to leave the conversation there, Kelly went on:
You indicted our presidential candidate 4x with made-up BS charges trying to put him in jail for life. You changed laws so he could be civilly sued by a woman who didn’t even remember what year her alleged “rape” by him was.
You let an AG who ran for office promising to “get Trump” try to bankrupt him on a claim so specious even the NY appellate court scoffed at it & had to reverse the damage award.
One of yours killed Charlie and then you laughed at our pain, protested our vigils & said Charlie was to blame and in hell. You lied about the killer’s motives & said he was MAGA when you knew he wasn’t. You put us all in danger by not admitting the truth and then not relenting on the lies you tell about us. You cried endless tears for Jimmy Kimmel but none for Charlie.
You gleefully cancelled all of us for five+ years and danced when we suffered. You censored us & ruined careers of distinguished doctors & others who dared to say the truth during Covid and George Floyd. You cost our children years of learning during lockdowns and endangered them with deadly myocarditis by burying the risk disclosures and never apologized or owned it.
Your govt tried to strong arm Fox into firing Tucker bc of his J6 coverage and you said not a peep about the first amendment.
You changed Title IX with the stroke of a pen, without consent, and endangered and hurt our defenseless daughters. You sterilized and cut off the healthy body parts of children & want to keep doing it.
You lied about a near-vegetative president being fine with the nuclear codes.
You (personally) had Doug Emhoff on as the scandal of his alleged woman abuse and cheating broke and you didn’t ask him ONE Q about it, then tried to tell us you care about women.
You opened the border and let in ten+ million illegals who killed Laken Riley and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray after they sexually assaulted her and threw her off a bridge, along with the countless other innocents they rape, murder and molest to this day.
“So no, we don’t care what you say about Tom Homan,” she concluded. “We do not trust you. We only care about defeating you.”
At Monday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the reports, defending Homan and denying he accepted any bribe. She framed the FBI operation as politically driven, calling it an attempt to entrap a high-profile Trump ally.
Leavitt admitted there had been some interaction before the 2024 election but brushed off the probe as misleading. She argued no money ever exchanged hands and blasted the Biden-era FBI for weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents.
