Donald Trump Attacks Ilhan Omar

President Trump denied involvement in the federal search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home, after Homeland Security Investigations agents carried out a judicially authorized warrant obtained by the Justice Department. The department said the search was part of an ongoing criminal investigation; reports citing sources familiar with the inquiry said it concerned immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she was a child. Omar came to the United States as a child refugee from Somalia and became a citizen in 2000, making that history central to the reported inquiry. Omar denied wrongdoing and called the search political targeting. Trump called her “totally crooked.” The government has not disclosed the evidence it sought.
