"Vance tried to spin the story as a "ridiculous smear" and painted Homan as a target "because he's doing the job of enforcing the law." STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.VANCE: No, George, I sai-STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back-"
"Homan has denied the allegations. "Look, I did nothing criminal. I did nothing illegal," he said during a Fox News interview, but he did not explicitly deny accepting the cash. The Trump DOJ also concluded no criminal wrongdoing took place, but when Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee grilled Attorney General Pam Bondi about what happened to the cash, she refused to answer."
J.D. Vance appeared on multiple Sunday morning shows to defend the Trump administration amid a bribery allegation involving Tom Homan. The FBI recorded Homan allegedly accepting $50,000 in cash on a September 2024 surveillance tape tied to promises of immigration-related contracts. Vance called the allegation a "ridiculous smear" and framed Homan as a target for enforcing the law, but he did not directly answer whether Homan kept the money. A live interview was cut short after Stephanopoulos pressed Vance. Homan denied criminality without explicitly denying taking the cash, and the Trump DOJ found no criminal wrongdoing; Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to explain what happened to the cash when questioned by Senate Democrats.
