An undercover sting operation was set up, and Homan was caught on a recording accepting a $50,000 bribe in a bag from the restaurant chain Cava, the sources said.
In the recorded sting operation, Homan claimed he would keep the bribe money in a trust until he had completed his service in the Trump administration, one of the sources said.
Emil Bove, who was acting deputy attorney general and is now a federal judge, was briefed on the case in February, one of the sources said. In that exchange, he expressed displeasure with the probe and said it was an example of a „deep state“ operation, referring to the idea that unelected officials secretly control the government.
Not long after the meeting when he criticized the Homan probe, Bove separately ordered corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams to be dropped, prompting career prosecutors to resign. The Justice Department has also largely dismantled the unit that prosecutes corruption cases, which took part in the Homan probe.
„The Department’s resources must remain focused on real threats to the American people, not baseless investigations. As a result, the investigation has been closed.” – Kash Patel, Todd Blanche

Why would the Trump administration do anything about all the criminals in their ranks? It’s perfect for them. Oh, you might need a pardon? You better keep towing the line. I need you to do me a favor, though… the usual Mafia stuff.
The Trump administration is basically organized crime.

I’m sure he reported the cash bribe to the IRS. Right Tom

Homan embodies „fraud, waste and abuse“ which clearly shows why he’s another very wrong pick for his job

If Scotus can take millions with no repercussions what’s 50 grand?

I can imagine Patel’s FBI doing a bunch of „stings“ where they bribe Trump officials with bags of cash, then the operations is shut down. And they keep the money. Totally legal, totally cool.

As Megan Kelly so succinctly put it, maga doesn’t care.
At all. One little bit. They’re fine with corruption. They’re fine with evil. They’re fine with child rape.
Throw it their faces every single chance you get. MAGA is the party of Satan.

Doesn’t surprise me that the Republicans protecting pedophiles would also protect bribery.

He was just on Bill Mahers HBO show on Friday. Wish this report had released a day earlier, would have made for a hilarious interview. I assume Maher would bring it up, seems the type to do anything for ratings.

Where’s the cash?

How many stories came out? Where a hungry person went into a drive, though, and was handed a bag of cash? More than there should have.
Now, if I was handed a bag with 309 dollars from, let’s say, Taco Bell. I would never go back to that place.
Now, if I was handed 50K. I wouldn’t say shit about ANYTHING!

Nothing but criminals on the GOP side and now they’re just openly doing it because he’s going to stop them?
