Overview

• MSNBC reported undercover FBI agents recorded Homan in September 2024 accepting $50,000 in cash after he indicated he could help secure government contracts.
• The investigation began in western Texas in summer 2024 based on a tip from a separate case alleging he solicited payments tied to future contract awards.
• After Homan assumed a White House role in January 2025, the probe stalled, and in recent weeks Trump appointees closed it following a status request from FBI Director Kash Patel.
• Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said a review found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing and declared the matter closed.
• Democrats and commentators are demanding the investigative file as the White House labels the case politically motivated and says Homan has had no role in contract award decisions.
