THE BARE STORY
Representative Ilhan Omar said she plans to move from her Washington, D.C., residence following a federal search of the property last week.
Federal authorities are investigating potential fraud connected to immigration paperwork involving Omar’s family. The Justice Department has provided few public details, while confirming that the inquiry is criminal in nature, according to the account of the investigation.
Omar, a Minnesota Democrat seeking reelection, said she had done nothing wrong. She said attention surrounding the search made her feel unsafe at the residence. Omar also described the investigation as politically motivated and said enforcement actions and voter-related reviews were intended to discourage participation in the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
President Donald Trump said Omar could face prison if allegations against her are substantiated. Congressional Democrats criticized the timing of the search, which occurred weeks before the election, and questioned investigative actions involving candidates so close to voting.
