The release of the video showing Tom Homan rejecting the $50k bribe from FBI agents has been scheduled alongside the release of Trump’s health care plan and news of all the successful trade deals, both of which will be released in two weeks.

Q: Did the president ask the DOJ to close the Homan investigation and does he have to return the $50,000

LEAVITT: Mr. Homan never took the $50,000, so you should get your facts straight ... you had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters

Also note that Kash Patel gave the exact same response to the Tom Homan case that he is now doing with Epstein Files.

"We found no credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing."

Even though it was an FBI sting and he was recorded committing the crime.

I just hope someone was smart enough to keep a copy of it outside FBI headquarters because I have no doubt the FBI destroyed the evidence they had.
