Lawmakers say releasing the undercover recordings is needed to explain why the case was shut down.

Overview

  • House and Senate Judiciary Democrats demanded the FBI’s audio and video from the 2024 sting and the full investigative file, launching oversight inquiries on Tuesday.
  • Letters led by Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen. Adam Schiff also request communications between Justice Department leaders and the White House about the decision to end the case.
  • MSNBC and Reuters report that undercover agents recorded Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in a Cava bag in Texas after discussing help with future federal contracts.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche say agents and prosecutors fully reviewed the matter, found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and closed the probe earlier this month.
  • The White House now claims Homan never took the money, while Homan says he did nothing illegal but has not directly denied accepting cash, and no recordings have been released.
