"According to MSNBC's Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian, the Homan associate Julian Jace Calderas bragged to undercover agents that Homan could facilitate future government contracts in exchange for big money. Calderas is a former U.S. immigration official who worked under Homan in the Obama administration, noted the Monday report. The report cites anonymous sources to claim that Calderas allegedly proposed to the agents who were posing as businessmen that Homan, in exchange for $1 million, could help them win lucrative federal contracts if Donald Trump became president again."
"It was during a Sept. 20, 2024, meeting in Dallas when agents allegedly recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash, Leonnig and Dilanian wrote, citing a government document and anonymous sources. At that same meeting, the document shows, Calderas accepted $10,000 from the undercover FBI agents. His alleged proposal to undercover FBI agents, which had not been previously reported, led to a full-blown Justice Department investigation of Homan, who at the time was a private consultant helping clients obtain government contracts, the report said."
Tom Homan became the subject of an FBI sting after an associate, Julian Jace Calderas, allegedly told undercover agents that Homan could facilitate government contracts in exchange for large payments. Calderas, a former U.S. immigration official and co-owner of a detention services and contracting firm, allegedly proposed that Homan could help win lucrative federal contracts for $1 million if Donald Trump returned to the presidency. Agents allegedly recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash at a Sept. 20, 2024 meeting in Dallas while Calderas accepted $10,000. The alleged proposal prompted a Justice Department investigation that was later closed by the Trump DOJ. Homan denies wrongdoing; the White House called the probe politically motivated; Calderas said he knew nothing about the criminal investigation.
