Rep. Ilhan Omar’s phone seized and relatives subpoenaed in criminal probe, AP source says

Federal authorities are investigating Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, seizing her phone and issuing over a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives. The probe is focused on potential fraud in Omar's immigration paperwork, leading to a search of her Washington, D.C. home just before the November midterms. Democrats have condemned the search, accusing the administration of targeting Omar politically, while U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated that if a crime was committed, it will be prosecuted.
