联邦调查局对边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼的调查无罪结案

摘要

联邦调查局对特朗普总统的边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼涉嫌接受5万美元现金的调查在特朗普政府上台后无罪结案,未提出指控。

2024年9月,当时还是私人身份、后被任命为特朗普总统边境沙皇的汤姆·霍曼,被卧底联邦调查局特工录下接受5万美元现金。特工们伪装成商业承包商,声称霍曼承诺协助确保与边境安全相关的政府合同,以配合特朗普预期的第二任期。

联邦调查局和司法部在前一届政府领导下对此事展开调查。然而,2025年1月特朗普总统就职后,调查陷入停滞。近期,由特朗普政府任命的官员决定关闭该案。

联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔和副司法部长托德·布兰奇表示:

“此事起源于前一届政府,联邦调查局特工和司法部检察官对其进行了全面审查。他们未发现任何可信的刑事不当行为证据。司法部的资源必须集中于对美国人民的真实威胁,而非毫无根据的调查。因此,调查已被关闭。”

白宫副新闻秘书阿比盖尔·杰克逊称此次调查“明显带有政治色彩”,是前一届政府针对特朗普总统盟友的典型案例。

法律专家指出,虽然霍曼接受款项时并非公职人员,但其行为未达到标准贿赂指控的条件。官员曾考虑包括共谋行贿和欺诈在内的潜在指控,但最终决定关闭调查,未提出任何指控。

霍曼曾在特朗普第一任期内担任移民与海关执法局代理局长,此次被任命负责被称为美国历史上“最大规模驱逐”项目的监督工作。
