Under Biden Administration, Justice Dept. Began Examining Ilhan Omar’s Finances

“The DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars,” he wrote. “Time will tell all.”
It was not clear whether Mr. Trump was referring to another investigation altogether or how he arrived at the $44 million figure.

Ms. Omar, a Somali-born refugee who emigrated to the United States when she was 12, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
“Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking,” she wrote on social media on Monday. “Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of ‘investigations’ have found nothing.”

Mr. Trump recently called her “garbage” at a cabinet meeting.

Ms. Omar has been under intense pressure since her community became a main target of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigrants.
“I think we’re in for a lot of pain as Americans during this presidency,” she said in an interview with The New York Times in December.
“There is a desire to purify the country from any brown and Black people,” Ms. Omar said. “A lot of their policies and rhetoric seems to be rooted in white supremacy.”
