The White House is standing behind border czar Tom Homan after reports that he accepted $50,000 as part of an undercover FBI sting operation last year.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing Monday that Homan didn’t take the money at all — despite several reports suggesting that the exchange took place on camera.

“Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to,” Leavitt said. “So you should get your facts straight.”
