Federal Probe Targets Ilhan Omar Over Immigration and Financial InvestigationsPreviousNext

Federal authorities have searched Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C. home and seized her phone as part of a criminal investigation into alleged irregularities in her immigration paperwork and financial disclosures. More than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives, have been issued. Omar denies wrongdoing, calling the probe political intimidation. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirmed multiple investigations are ongoing, with potential prosecution if crimes are found. The inquiry has drawn criticism from Democrats ahead of the midterm elections.
