John,
Last year, Tom Homan — Donald Trump’s current border czar — accepted a $50,000 bag of cash from two FBI agents posing as businessmen, in exchange for help winning lucrative government contracts related to border security if Trump won the 2024 election.
The exchange was recorded on tape, as the FBI was investigating Homan for bribery and other potential crimes. Of course, once Trump was sworn back into office, Homan got a top role in the administration, and the investigation was dropped.
It’s obvious what’s going on here: Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel shut down the investigation in a cover-up to protect one of Trump’s biggest allies.
It’s just one of countless examples of the corruption taking place within the MAGA White House, especially when it comes to Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
Trump and Republicans’ budget bill nearly tripled the ICE budget this summer, while ICE and the Department of Homeland Security are issuing BILLIONS of dollars in federal contracts to private prisons and other corporations.
The same private prisons that donated millions to Donald Trump’s election are now cashing in, making a fortune from the terrorization of our communities and the drastic spike in the number of people arrested and detained by ICE — they’re profiting off pain.
This White House is corrupt and cruel to its core, John, and it must finally be held accountable. House and Senate Democrats just opened investigations into this bribery and cover-up.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
