U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirms probe into Rep. Ilhan Omar's finances
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated on Tuesday that her office is investigating the financial disclosures of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). This announcement came one day after federal agents searched the congresswoman's home in Washington, D.C.
Piro made the remarks on Fox News' "America Reports," confirming that her office is handling the probe. When asked about a prior ethics investigation into financial filings by the Office of Congressional Conduct, which cleared Omar, Pirro said the matter is "subject of an investigation as well." She added that her team is looking at the facts and will follow them wherever they take us, regardless of actions taken by the House or other agencies.
The development marks another escalation in tensions between the administration and the progressive lawmaker, who has clashed with the White House over its immigration crackdown. President Trump has previously labeled Omar "crooked."
Omar's office did not respond to a request for comment from Axios. The story remains breaking news and will be updated as new information becomes available.
