Ilhan Omar Faces New Probe After Raid as Trump Admin Launches Investigation
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is facing a new federal investigation into her financial disclosures after the raid on her home.
U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar is currently facing two separate federal investigations. One probe, initiated by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office, is focused on Omar's financial disclosures related to her husband's businesses. The other investigation, conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), stems from a raid on Omar's Washington, D.C.-area home.
This criminal investigation is part of an ongoing federal inquiry connected to her immigration paperwork. The HSI raid occurred just three weeks before Omar's re-election bid, and the congresswoman has denied any wrongdoing, accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing federal law enforcement against its political opponents.
