Karoline Leavitt Denies Video Evidence to Shield Donald Trump

During Monday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt exhibited a combative demeanor while dismissing inquiries regarding a bribery scandal involving Tom Homan, a former Trump aide now under federal investigation. The situation escalated when she confidently denied claims of Homan accepting a bag containing $50,000, despite reports of an undercover FBI recording capturing the transaction.Journalistic sources indicate that the FBI had been monitoring the bribery allegations, initially pausing to assess Homan's compliance following Trump's potential return to office. However, the investigation was ultimately terminated post-inauguration.Leavitt's steadfast denials sparked outrage online, with social media users coining the term “Karolying” in reaction to her attempt to obfuscate the facts. Critics urged journalists to confront her assertions more vigorously, highlighting the apparent contradiction between her claims and the documented evidence. Amidst the uproar, Leavitt reiterated Homan's innocence and attributed the investigations to the political machinations of the Biden administration.
