If the map stands do you think Maloy runs in 2 or 4? I assumed Kennedy stays in 3 and Owens in 4.

WHOA.

Tom Homan was being investigated for accepting a $50K bribe from undercover agents before Trump and Pam Bondi shut it down.

The $$$ was in exchange for access to government contracts in Trump’s 2nd term.

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