Overview

  • FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche previously said investigators found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Tom Homan and closed the probe.
  • MSNBC reports that former ICE official Julian “Jace” Calderas told undercover agents Homan could help secure federal contracts for $1 million, prompting a recorded Sept. 20, 2024 meeting in Dallas.
  • An internal DOJ document cited by MSNBC says agents recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash and Calderas taking $10,000 during that meeting.
  • The White House calls the inquiry politically motivated, says Homan has not been involved in contract award decisions, and Homan says he did nothing illegal without addressing the reported cash.
  • Prosecutors viewed Calderas’ involvement as important for any conspiracy case, and sources say the investigation began after his statements, later stalling and being shut down by new leadership.
