Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan is a hot topic after a blockbuster MSNBC report claimed Homan had accepted a $50,000 bribe from FBI undercover agents, and one senator says Pam Bondi and others knew about the scheme.

Raw Story reported on Saturday about a MSNBC exclusive in which the outlet claimed that Homan had previously been investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. That caused U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to issue a stinging four-word response to Homan.

That set the stage for Golden State senator Adam Schiff, who said, "Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash."

He went on to claim, "Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew."

"And they made the investigation go away," Schiff then added. "A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft."

Ken Dilanian, MSNBC Justice and Intelligence Correspondent, was one of the reporters behind the "scoop." On Saturday, he highlighted Schiff's reply and wrote, "Strong reaction to our new @MSNBC reporting."
