House Democrats have launched a series of investigations into Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, amid allegations that he accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents as part of an influence-peddling probe.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is pressing the Justice Department to turn over a reported tape showing Homan accepting the money last year as part of an FBI sting. Meanwhile, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, wants the panel’s Republicans to demand Homan’s testimony — by subpoena if necessary.
Republicans have shown little appetite for scrutinizing Trump, however, and Democrats aren’t holding their breath for Trump’s allies to help with any formal probe into the allegations
