Federal probes into Ilhan Omar widen after home search in Washington
What's new: A second inquiry now examines Omar's financial disclosures after a separate immigration-related search of her home.
Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing two federal investigations after agents searched her Washington home and prosecutors opened a separate review of her financial disclosures. Fox News reported Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant as part of a criminal probe into whether Omar or her father committed fraud on paperwork tied to her U.S. citizenship. A day later, the U.S. attorney's office in Washington began examining disclosure filings that showed large swings in assets linked to businesses run by her husband, Tim Mynett, before an amended filing sharply reduced those values. Omar has called the investigation political intimidation.
