Trump Says Justice Department Investigating Ilhan Omar

President Trump claims DOJ and Congress are investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar's wealth surge amid a $20 billion welfare fraud probe in Minnesota, while Omar denies wrongdoing.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump announced he was sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota and said the Department of Justice and Congress would be looking into Rep. Ilhan Omar amid rising tensions.
  • Earlier this month, House Republicans launched an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances after the New York Post reported lawyers probing how Omar and Tim Mynett "went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year."
  • The disclosure lists valuations for Rose Lake Capital LLC at $5 million to $25 million and eStCru LLC at $1 million to $5 million, reflecting company totals rather than Tim Mynett’s personal stake.
  • Amid escalating unrest in Minnesota, the deployment coincided with mass demonstrations and recent killings linked to federal immigration agents, while the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
  • Under ethics rules, lawmakers report assets in broad brackets, annual disclosures due May 15, 2026 could update the record, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D‑Minn., said it's "a coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign.
