During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Adam Schiff questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi about the Department of Justice's handling of several high-profile investigations. Schiff accused the department of engaging in politically motivated prosecutions under President Trump's direction.
Schiff raised concerns about the investigation into Tom Homan, a top deportation official, who allegedly accepted $50,000 from undercover FBI agents for favorable government contracts. Schiff noted that despite reports and evidence, the investigation was quietly closed by the DOJ and FBI. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied these allegations, stating, "Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to."
Attorney General Bondi responded to Schiff's questions by emphasizing her lack of involvement at the time of the investigation and reiterated statements from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Patel that no crime was committed by Homan.
The hearing also covered other issues such as Donald Trump's new luxury plane from Qatar, January 6th pardons, illegal boat strikes in the Caribbean, and handling of Jeffrey Epstein files. Schiff criticized Bondi for refusing to answer questions on these topics during what he described as an oversight hearing.
Bondi maintained her stance throughout the questioning, highlighting her trust in Deputy Attorney General Blanche and FBI Director Patel's conclusions regarding Homan's case.
