Democrats urge Trump border czar investigation over bribery allegation

Tom Homan alleged to have taken $50,000 cash from undercover FBI agent in return for political favours

Democrats have urged treasury watchdogs to investigate reports that Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent in return for political favours.

In the alleged scheme, Homan promised immigration-related government contracts when he joined the Trump administration in exchange for the money, according to unnamed sources quoted by multiple media outlets. The justice department subsequently shut down a bribery investigation.
