During the White House press briefing Monday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if President Trump had asked the Justice Department to close the case, and whether Homan would be returning the alleged bribe.
“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 you’re referring to so you should get your facts straight, number one,” Leavitt replied.
“Number two, this was another example of the weaponization by the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign,” she continued. “You had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president’s top allies and supporters, someone they knew very well would be taking a government position months later. Mr. Homan did absolutely nothing wrong.”
Leavitt said the Trump Department of Justice had FBI agents and prosecutors investigate the allegations and “they found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing.”
