New reporting from MSNBC Think of a conspiracy with the bribery of Tom Homan.
Earlier this month, exit disclosed This Homan was caught by receiving $ 50,000 from agents under the guise in September 2024, as part of the FBI investigation, which has since been closed by the Trump administration. It is reported that the future border king promised agents who posed as businessmen, he will help them conclude federal contracts as soon as Trump won the election, and he accepted his post.
On Monday, MSNBC reported The fact that the FBI investigation in Homan began after Julian Kalderas, a former ICE official, who worked under Homan during the Obama administration, soon informed secret agents that Homan could ultimately beat contracts if they were coughing $ 1 million.
Kalderas, who, like Homan at that time, ruled his own private contractual consulting company, allegedly, in May 2023, he brought this plan to agents under the guise, which ultimately led to a meeting at which Homan accepted $ 50,000, and during which Calders also reported that he also accepted $ 10,000.
According to “sources familiar with the investigation,” reports MSNBC, the FBI believed that the Homan’s investigation “after Kalderas informed the agents in an unrelated investigation that Homan is ready to influence which companies would win federal contracts in the second administration of Trump in exchange for money.”
When he was asked if he knows about a criminal investigation, Kalderas said MSNBC “I don’t know anything about it” and “if so, I will need to talk to my lawyer.”
The fact that the investigation of Homann disappeared as a result of the existing investigation of Kalderas, an employee and supporter of Homan, according to his digital trail – opposed the already erratic argument of the Trump administration that Homan became a victim of a “obviously political investigation” by Biden’s administration “aiming at the allies of President Trump”.
