# Reuters reports Justice Department closed bribery probe involving Tom Homan

Date: 2025

Reuters reported on 21 September 2025 that two sources familiar with the matter said [Tom Homan](/people/tom-homan) had accepted a $50,000 bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent in 2024 during a bribery sting involving alleged promises of future immigration-related contracts. Reuters also reported that FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the investigation closed in 2025. Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said a review found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing. The [White House](/organizations/white-house) later said Homan had done nothing wrong, and Homan said he did nothing criminal or illegal. The episode remains an allegation from a closed investigation: Homan was not convicted, and no criminal charge resulted.
