Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

When President Trump returned to the Oval Office, he promised that he would protect free speech. But after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, those pledges have given way to threats against critics. Here are how the views of Trump and top officials have changed. nyti.ms/46siz7o

A quiet street in a small town in the southwest corner of Utah is now near the epicenter of the world’s attention on Charlie Kirk.
Washington County is shocked the Charlie Kirk suspect is one of their own
“This is everywhere. Every community, every town, every state,” one of the suspect’s neighbors said. “It's going to be everybody's neighbor, everybody's classmate. It's not at all unusual anymore.”
