Senator Whitehouse Morning mr. Blanche morning Why won't you tell us what became of the fifty thousand dollars in? Confidential money that the FBI reported that it gave to Tom Holman I'm not aware of what you're speaking about To the extent that there have been public reporting about an investigation. I know nothing about it Well the public reporting is that the FBI reported giving $50 ,000 in the nature of a bribe to Tom Homan and there's been no report of what became of that $50 ,000. Will you answer that question? Not now, but will you answer that question? We've been asking for a long time now your department certainly knows what's happening. I'm not aware that that's true. Well take a look at it and it's publicly reported and the FBI reported it and you should answer the question.
