On Sunday, US Vice President JD Vance came to the war with host ABC George Stephanopoulos for alleged fees for bribery against “Border Czar” and Immigration Policy Tom Homan, while the videos of the heated competition became a viral on social media.
The interview about ABC “this week”, which began with a discussion of the ceasefire in West Asia, quickly spiralized into a sharp debate after Stephanopoulos raised accusations against bribery against Homan.
“The border boundary of the White House, Tom Homan, was recorded in September 2024 on the FBI tape to watch the FBI and arrived $ 50,000 in cash. He kept this money or returned it?” He asked the host ABC in response to which Vance had denied the accusation.
“George, who covered this story Ad Nauseum. Tom Homan didn’t take a bribe – it’s a ridiculous coating,” Vance told Stephanopoulos.
“I’m not sure you answered the question. You say he didn’t accept $ 50,000?
“He didn’t take a bribe. He accepted $ 50,000? I’m sure he got more than $ 50,000 for services during his life. The question is that he did something illegal?
When the host ABC pushed the definitive answer, Vance continued to attack the show credibility and said, “I don’t know what cassette you mean … I have seen that Tom Homan has accepted a bribe, there is no evidence.
“You speak for five minutes with the United States Vice President of this story about this Homan, the story I read about, but I don’t even know the video you are talking about. Meanwhile, women with low incomes can’t get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer closed the government,” Vance continued.
Vance that claimed that the first priority of the government was the solution of the ongoing shutdown, accused: “You focus on a false story, suggest a criminal offense against a person who is to deal with our country is to deal with our country. By taking it to be taken for being a strange left)
“It’s not a strange left -wing rabbit hole. I didn’t indicate anything. I asked you if Tom Homan received $ 50,000, as heard on audiocads recorded by the FBI in September 2024.
Although Vance tried to answer the host ABC show, the interview was stopped.
What are the accusations against Homan?
US media reports claimed that last year Homan accepted a bribe of $ 50,000, promising government contracts related to FBI agents who met official posing as managers during the sting operation.
Reaction to accusation, white house denied Homan’s role, when Karoline Leavitt said that the official “did absolutely nothing wrong” and was aimed at Biden’s administration to discredit it.
Homan, a former reigning director of US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE), was described by Trump as a “border tsar” to promote immigration policy during his second Presidency.
