The White House on Monday denied reports that border czar Tom Homan allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash last year from undercover FBI agents during an alleged bribery sting operation.

"Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you're referring to, so you should get your facts straight," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing when asked about the reports that emerged over the weekend.

"This was another example of the weaponization of the Biden [Department of Justice]," she said.

She also accused the FBI of trying to "entrap one of the president's top allies."
