Trump claims without evidence Omar ‘probably had herself sprayed’

President Trump accused Rep. Ilhan Omar of staging her attack at a Minneapolis town hall despite police arresting a man charged with third-degree assault, officials said.

  • On Jan. 27, a man sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with an unknown liquid at a Minneapolis town hall, and President Donald Trump accused Omar of staging the incident, though no evidence has been shown.
  • In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has intensified attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar after welfare-fraud revelations and criticized her hours before in Clive, Iowa, while calling for severe punishment on Jan. 18.
  • A man rushed Omar and sprayed her torso with an unknown liquid while yelling something unclear, witnesses said; police identified 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak and jailed him on assault charges.
  • Omar said she was OK and called herself a survivor, vowing to continue despite pleas; Minneapolis remains tense after recent fatal shootings amid ICE and federal actions.
  • Federal scrutiny is focused on Omar's finances and a Justice Department inquiry as a 2025 financial disclosure shows her income rose from $6 million to $30 million via her spouse's winery and venture firm stakes.
