Summary

President Trump urged Rep. Ilhan Omar to resign Thursday, alleging she used a fake name, after Fox News Digital reported her birth name was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. Omar denied wrongdoing, calling the claims politically motivated. The Justice Department is investigating whether Omar committed immigration fraud when she became a citizen; a judge gave prosecutors until October 27 to argue for keeping related search warrant documents sealed.
