Federal authorities confiscated the phone of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and issued over 12 grand jury subpoenas, including some involving her relatives, amid an ongoing investigation into immigration documents.
The federal probe involves a Minnesota grand jury examining possible irregularities in immigration documents, alongside reviews of the lawmaker's financial disclosures by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
Omar dismissed the investigation as political intimidation ahead of the November midterm elections, describing the search of her Washington, D.C., residence as an attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement.
