JD Vance Dodges A Question About Border Czar Reportedly Taking A Bribe

Source: Huff Post

Vice President JD Vance said he doesn’t know about a recording of border czar Tom Homan reportedly accepting a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents in September 2024. After George Stephanopoulos asked Vance if Homan kept the $50,000, Vance called the story a “ridiculous smear.”

“George, you’ve covered this story ad nauseam,” Vance said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “Tom Homan did not take a bribe. It’s a ridiculous smear, and the reason you guys are going after Tom Homan so aggressively is because he’s doing the job of enforcing the law. I think it’s really preposterous. I know Tom. I think that he’s a good man. He gets death threats. He gets attacked. He gets constantly threatened by people because he has the audacity to want to enforce the country’s immigration laws.”

Vance said journalists should instead report on why Homan gets death threats for enforcing the law. Last month, MSNBC reported that Homan was being investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents who were posing as business executives looking to secure government contracts in President Donald Trump’s second administration. Once Trump became president, however, the investigation was dropped.

The FBI initially launched the investigation in 2024. In September of that same year, Homan was caught on camera accepting the $50,000.
