白宫否认针对边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼的指控，驳斥联邦调查局诱捕报道
摘要
白宫驳斥了有关边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼在一次诱捕行动中接受联邦调查局卧底特工5万美元的报道，坚称其清白，并批评调查具有政治动机。
白宫否认了有关边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼在2024年一次诱捕行动中接受联邦调查局卧底特工5万美元现金的指控。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特表示：“霍曼先生从未接受你们所说的那5万美元，所以你们应该弄清事实。”
MSNBC和《纽约时报》的报道指出，霍曼在暗示如果时任候选人唐纳德·特朗普赢得第二个任期，他可以协助特工获得政府合同后，接受了这笔现金。
据报道，联邦调查局和司法部正在监控霍曼是否会在担任高级政府职务后兑现其承诺。然而，当特朗普上任后，调查暂停，最近在联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔审查此事后正式关闭。
司法部官员 reportedly 对案件的强度表示不确定，质疑检察官是否能说服陪审团相信霍曼是以具体行动换取这笔钱。
据称，这笔现金交易发生在2024年9月20日，地点在德克萨斯州，并有录音带记录。
白宫、司法部和联邦调查局均将这些报道视为具有政治动机。利维特强调：“白宫和总统100%支持汤姆·霍曼，因为他绝对没有做错任何事。”
