Harry Litman - A $50k Bagman

Confronted with reports from multiple outlets that Trump’s border czar Tom Homan was captured on tape by FBI undercover agents accepting a $50,000 payment in a CAVA bag in return for helping secure lucrative security contracts, the White House issued a categorical and indignant denial:

“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to,” said spokesperson Katherine Leavitt. “This was another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters.”

Yet within weeks of Trump’s return to office, the investigation was quietly shut down. What should have been a slow, painstaking inquiry — with prosecutors tracing the cash, exploring charges, consulting DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel, potentially convening a Grand Jury, and more — instead vanished in a flash.

The timing strongly suggests political intervention, not legal analysis, killed the case.
