"VANCE: George, you've covered the story ad nauseum. Tom Homan did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear. And the reason you guys are going after Tom Homan so aggressively is because he's doing the job of enforcing the law. I think it's really preposterous. I know Tom, I think that he's a good man. He gets death threats, he gets attacked, he gets constantly threatened by people because he has the audacity to want to enforce the country's immigration laws."
"VANCE: George, this story has been covered ad nauseum. He did not take a bribe. Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Tom Homan's life, he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is, did he do something illegal? And there's absolutely no evidence that Tom Homan has ever taken a bribe STEPHANOPOULOS: No, I'm asking a different question."
Vice President JD Vance defended Tom Homan against allegations tied to an FBI surveillance tape reportedly showing Homan accepting $50,000 in cash in September 2024. Vance repeatedly denied that Homan took a bribe and called the allegation a ridiculous smear, arguing there is no evidence of illegal conduct. Vance said journalists are targeting Homan because he enforces immigration laws, noted Homan receives death threats and harassment, and characterized the media scrutiny as excessive. Anchor George Stephanopoulos pressed for a direct answer about whether Homan accepted the $50,000, prompting Vance to push back on the line of questioning.
