There is one constant with the Trump administration: they cover for each other, no matter the crime, mispeak, or lie. Enter: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who denied the massive scandal involving Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan. According to Leavitt, Homan never accepted the $50,000 in cash to win government contracts in a second Trump administration. However, the bribe was reportedly caught on tape of Homan accepting cash from undercover FBI agents as part of an anti-corruption investigation last year.
“So, two on the Homan investigation, I mean, can you just speak to, did the President ask the Justice Department to close the case, and does Homan have to return the $50,000?” a reporter asked.
“Well, Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to, so you should get your facts straight, number one,” Leavitt shot back. “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.”
