I wasn't the only reporter chasing corruption.
This MSNBC also figured it out.
And so what I eventually came to understand was that there had been beginning really in 2023, but stretching all the way into this year, a really fascinating investigation that came to include Tom Holman.
As it's been described to me by sources, if you go back to the spring of 2023, the FBI in Texas was conducting an undercover investigation related to a particular businessman.
And the investigation, my sources were adamant, was not looking at Tom Holman at all.
But in the course of that investigation, that businessman told the undercover agents that
If those agents who are posing as businessmen looking for government contracts, if they were willing to pay Tom Holman a million dollars, he could steer government contracts to them.
My sources are adamant that no one had asked about Tom Holman.
That was brought up unprompted.
And Tom Holman just sort of wanders into the picture, wanders into the frame of what the FBI agents are already doing.
Right.
He's just a private citizen and he runs a consulting business for companies that are seeking contracts.
So it's not completely out of the blue that he would have some interest in government contracts.
But again, he's not in government at that time.
And he's known mostly as a former Trump official who is what they sometimes call a campaign surrogate.
He often would appear, you know, speaking publicly in support of another Trump administration.
And there's a lot of general expectation that if Trump wins reelection, Holman will rejoin the government.
And in November of 2023, he out and out says it.
He says, you know, I promised President Trump that if he goes back, I go back.
And then he added to that, and I'm going to run the biggest deportation operation this country's ever seen.
