As of October 2025, there is no publicly released video showing Tom Homan accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents
. However, several news outlets, congressional Democrats, and a nonprofit organization have stated that the incident was recorded.
Key facts about the alleged recording:
- Recording confirmed by sources: Internal FBI summaries and anonymous sources confirm that Homan accepted the money during a meeting in Texas in September 2024, and the exchange was captured by "hidden cameras". The New York Timesinitially reported it was captured on audiotape, though other sources indicate it was video.
- Investigation and closure: The investigation was initiated by the FBI during the Biden administration. After the Trump administration took office, the Justice Department shut down the investigation.
- Release demanded: Democrats on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees have demanded that the Department of Justice release the recordings.
- Lawsuit filed: The nonprofit group Democracy Forward filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice and FBI in October 2025 to compel the release of the recording.
- Denial and dismissal: The White House and Justice Department have denied the allegations and dismissed the investigation as politically motivated. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has stated that Homan never took the $50,000.
- Heated exchange: During an October 2025 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly refused to answer questions from Democrats about the existence and release of the recording.
