juicy scoop from @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social of MSNBC, breaking the day after Homan's victory lap interview on Bill Maher
:

MSNBC @msnbc.com · 17d

This is according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC. Read more: www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

"In Chicago, the new guidance is that if you get a fender bender, drive to the nearest police station to trade insurance just in case they're there to steal your car. It's a real thing. It's happening all the time. By the way, get a burner. We advertise it all the time here on our program."
