Quick Summary

President Donald Trump criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar after federal agents raided her home in Washington, DC. At a campaign rally in Ohio, Trump referred to Omar as "totally crooked" and repeated false claims that she is in the country illegally, despite her having obtained US citizenship at age 17. The raid occurred three weeks before midterm elections, which deviates from standard Justice Department practices. Additionally, Trump has highlighted reports suggesting Omar's net worth could be around $30 million, leading to calls for an investigation by Republicans and the House Oversight Committee, though these allegations were later dismissed as a reporting error.

Story summary

President Donald Trump criticized Representative Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided her Washington, DC-area home. The raid occurred just three weeks before midterm elections and broke with usual Justice Department protocols. Speaking at a campaign rally in Ohio, Trump said of Omar: "She comes in from a country without laws, without police, without military, where all they do is shoot each other." He also claimed he had “nothing to do” with the investigation but called her "totally crooked," despite false accusations that she entered the U.S. illegally, which she denied, having been granted asylum at age 12 and becoming a naturalized citizen.
