'Get your facts straight!' Karoline Leavitt lashes out as she's grilled on Tom Homan probe

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at a reporter for citing reports that border czar Tom Homan was recorded accepting $50,000 in cash in exchange for helping men obtain government contracts.

"Did the president ask the Justice Department to close the case?" a reporter asked Leavitt during Monday's White House briefing. "And does Homan have to return the $50,000?"

"Well, Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you're referring to," Leavitt shot back. "So you should get your facts straight, number one."

"Number two, this was another example of the weaponization of 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 trap one of the president's top allies and supporters, someone who they knew very well, would be taking a government position months later."

Leavitt insisted that "even Kash Patel's FBI looked into this."

"They found zero evidence of illegal activity or criminal wrongdoing," the press secretary said. "The White House and the president stand by Tom Homan 100% because he did absolutely nothing wrong."

"And he is a brave public servant who has done a phenomenal job in helping the president shut down the border," she added.
