Summary
Former President Obama said federal agents' search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home was a 'transparent' effort to intimidate a Trump critic, calling the investigation 'so appalling.' Federal investigators are examining whether Omar committed immigration fraud, including whether her birthdate was altered on her citizenship application, along with earlier allegations of financial fraud and an improper marriage to gain her brother U.S. residency, which Omar has disputed.
