A bad and completely unproven rumor (i.e. FAKE NEWS) is circulating that Tom Homan took a $50,000 bribe.
As far as I am aware, there is no evidence to support the claims, only baseless and defamatory rumors.
JD Vance completely destroyed George Stephanopoulos on ABC News when Steph tried to bring it up:

And with that history, we now go to Bill O’Reilly who had Tom Homan on a panel on News Nation and Bill asked him if he would like to address the rumors….

Bill O’Reilly asked Tom Homan if he wanted to clarify anything about the $50,000 bribe in front of a live audience.

Bill O’Reilly asked Tom Homan if he wanted to clarify anything about the $50,000 bribe in front of a live audience.
The Border Czar looked O’Reilly dead in the eyes and said:
“I didn’t take $50,000 from anyone.”
Then Homan revealed something that those accusing him of taking bribes probably didn’t know:
“The first day I came back, I recused myself from any discussion, any contact or any monetary decision like that because I had a company that did consulting.”
“So I cleaned myself up the first day.”
“People don’t talk about the fact that I took a significant, huge pay cut to come back and serve my country.”
“I’m not enriching myself by doing this.”
O’Reilly asked Homan: “Does it make you angry that they’re coming at you like that?”
Homan’s response wowed the crowd:
“I don’t care what people think about me, I never have because I know who I am. I work for the greatest president in the history of this country, in my opinion.”
“And we’re doing the right thing every day.”
[Applause]

This is a new low…
George Stephanopoulos on ABC News tried to ask J.D. Vance about the widely debunked story that Tom Homan took a $50,000 bribe.
JD Vance immediately shut the fuck down, and after setting the record straight Stephanopoulos smeared him one more time, then cut the feed and went to commercial.
Unreal!

Transcript:
I don’t know which tape you’re referring to, George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan took bribes. There is no evidence of this.
And here, George, why are fewer and fewer people watching your program and why are you losing credibility – because you’ve been talking for five minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story involving Tom Homan, a story I’ve read about, but I don’t even know the video you’re talking about.
Meanwhile, low income women can’t get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government.
Right now, we’re trying to figure out how to pay our troops because Chuck Schumer has shut down the government. You are focusing on a fake story. You are committing criminal wrongdoing against a person who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government is shut down.
Let’s talk about real issues, George. I think the American people would benefit far more from this than you going down some weird leftist rabbit hole where the facts clearly show Tom Homan was not involved in any criminal wrongdoing.
Uh, this isn’t some weird leftist rabbit hole. I didn’t indicate anything. I asked you if Tom Homan accepted $50,000, as heard in an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question.
Thank you for your time this morning.
No, George – Governor JD Davis – I said I don’t – Pritzker is next. We will be right back.

The whole story was completely debunked back in September:
🚨 BREAKING: Another story collapses – Tom Homan didn’t take the $50,000 he was “allegedly” offered from FBI agents in 2024 to help him win a “government contract.” Caroline Levitt says there was an attempt to trap it.
