Trump Flags Ilhan Omar’s Finances As Report Reveals Prior DOJ Scrutiny

President Trump said this month that his Department of Justice is looking into the finances of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — but scrutiny of the congresswoman’s finances didn’t begin under this administration. According to prior reporting, a review involving federal authorities dates back to 2024 under President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
The New York Times reports that people familiar with the matter said the investigation was opened to examine her finances, campaign spending, and interactions with a foreign citizen.
The inquiry reportedly began with the United States Attorney’s Office in Washington in June 2024, though it received little public attention until Trump raised the issue on Truth Social.
