Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork, with subpoenas issued to her sister and other family members.
- Omar’s congressional staff requested a change in her publicly listed birth year from 1981 to 1982 in 2019, a discrepancy questioned by a former political opponent challenging her citizenship claims.
- The investigation includes scrutiny of Omar’s family’s immigration history, particularly whether her late father provided false information during naturalization, though no charges have been filed to date.
- Separately, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro revealed a probe into Omar’s financial disclosures, which had shown a dramatic increase in reported business values tied to her husband, though Omar later amended these filings.
- Omar denies any wrongdoing, labeling the investigation as politically motivated, while former President Trump and others have called for accountability and transparency.
