Civil Action: Trump Shuts Down FBI Bribery Probe of Border Czar

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose the shocking corruption of Trump’s border czar Tom Homan—caught on FBI tape accepting $50,000 in cash bribes inside a Cava restaurant bag in exchange for promising future government contracts. The hosts break down how the Trump administration immediately shut down the FBI investigation upon taking office, despite clear evidence of potential conspiracy to commit bribery and honest services fraud. They reveal how Homan, the architect of child separation policies, was recorded by undercover agents promising to help secure immigration enforcement contracts if Trump won reelection. The attorneys analyze the legal violations, from quid pro quo arrangements to wire fraud, while exposing how even Fox News personality Megyn Kelly defended Homan as a “national treasure” despite the bribery evidence, showing how Trump’s circle protects corruption while claiming to prioritize “real threats” to America.
