- Undercover FBI agents posing as contractors allegedly recorded Homan taking $50,000 in cash tied to promises to help secure border enforcement contracts.
- Trump’s team delayed and limited pre-inauguration FBI vetting, resulting in Homan being announced as border czar without a standard background check.

- Homan obtained a security clearance and serves in the White House, while officials deny wrongdoing and how his clearance was granted remains unclear.
