New questions this morning about how the Justice Department handled a secret sting operation
0:07
involving President Trump's border czar. MSNBC was first to report that Tom Homan was recorded
0:13
back in 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents posing as
0:20
businessmen. The agent claimed he agreed to help them land government contracts if Trump won the
0:25
election. The case began under the Biden administration, but was shut down soon after
0:30
Trump took office. The New York Times reports that FBI Director Cash Patel and Todd Blanch
0:36
the deputy attorney general, said in a statement they found no credible evidence of wrongdoing
0:41
and that Homan never held contract authority. But critics say it raises serious questions

about whether the Justice Department is being used to protect Trump's inner circle
