Overview
- Seven Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee asked DHS for contracts, communications and related records involving Tom Homan, including full GEO Group files and any meetings with former clients since Jan. 20, 2025.
- Their letter, first obtained by CBS News, follows reports that undercover FBI agents in September 2024 allegedly gave Homan $50,000 in a bag during a recorded sting while discussing federal contracts.
- Justice Department and FBI leaders say investigators found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and Justice Department sources told reporters the review was closed by Trump appointees.
- The White House says Homan never took the cash and has not been involved in contract award decisions, while Homan told Fox News he did nothing criminal or illegal.
- Homan previously consulted for GEO Group, and DHS has recently awarded the company multiple contracts, including a 15-year, $1 billion deal announced on Feb. 27, intensifying conflict-of-interest scrutiny.
