Trump has no choice but to promote him to Kristi Noem's job. Corruption is a job requirement in the Trump Administration and Homan is simply better at it than Noem is.

It's likely to be true he took the money, but your headline overstates the certainty.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
