Overview

  • House Judiciary ranking member Jamie Raskin requested alleged recordings and related materials, setting a Sept. 29 deadline for the DOJ and FBI to respond.
  • Homan is reported to have accepted $50,000 in cash in 2024, allegedly delivered in a Cava takeout bag after he traveled to Texas during an FBI undercover operation.
  • The investigation was shut down after President Trump took office this year, with then‑acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove signaling he did not support moving the probe forward.
  • Homan has denied any criminal conduct in televised interviews and emphasized his decades in law enforcement and public service.
  • The White House said it fully supports Homan and argued the FBI tried to entrap a future senior official during the prior administration, while the FBI and DOJ declined comment.
