People familiar with an undercover F.B.I. investigation say Trump’s border czar was recorded on audio tape accepting a Cava bag with $50,000 in it last year.
Asked by reporters what happened to the money that Mr. Homan received, the White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Monday rejected the published accounts and said President Trump remained fully supportive of his border czar.
“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to,” Ms. Leavitt said. “This was another example of the weaponization of the Biden Department of Justice against one of President Trump’s strongest and most vocal supporters in the midst of a presidential campaign.”
