Ex-Trump 'fixer' slams Tom Homan for selling America's borders 'to the highest bidder'
President Donald Trump's former "fixer" roasted the administration's border czar on Sunday for accepting a $50,000 bribe in a restaurant to-go bag.
Michael Cohen, who was once described as Trump's personal "fixer," penned an op-ed on Sunday criticizing Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, for allegedly accepting a $50,000 bribe as a private citizen from undercover FBI agents. Legal experts have said the event presents several legal pitfalls for Homan, even though the FBI declined to indict him after Trump was elected.
"He loved the image of the tough cop, the no-nonsense border enforcer. But what we’re seeing now strips that image down to what it always was: a performance," Cohen wrote. "Behind the scenes, Homan wasn’t protecting America’s borders. He was selling them off to the highest bidder."
According to a MSNBC report, Homan allegedly promised to help the FBI agents with government contracts once he was in office. The FBI planned to wait and see if Homan would deliver on the promise before charging him, the outlet reported.
The White House, Justice Department, and FBI all dismissed the investigation as politically motivated and baseless, MSNBC News reported. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the investigation has revealed “no credible evidence of wrongdoing.”
"What do you call a video of a man pocketing $50,000 in cash and offering government contracts in return?" Cohen wrote. "If that isn’t credible, then nothing is."
"That money was a down payment," he added. "A test. A handshake sealed in cash. And Homan took it."
