Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home early Monday under a judge-approved warrant tied to an ongoing criminal investigation, the Justice Department said. Homeland Security Investigations agents were seen removing boxes from the property, according to PBS and the BBC.
President Donald Trump told reporters he had no involvement in the investigation, while saying investigators were examining Omar closely. Omar said the search was an effort to target political opponents and use federal law enforcement against them. The Justice Department did not disclose the subject of the investigation, and it was unclear whether Omar was at the home during the search.
