U.S. President Donald Trump called Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar “a terrible person” just a few days after federal agents searched her home as part of ongoing criminal investigations. Homeland Security Investigations agents raided the Somali-born lawmaker’s Washington D.C. home. The reason for the search was not immediately clear, but Trump administration officials have accused her of immigration fraud.
ABC News reported that Omar, a member of Congress up for reelection in the midterm elections, relates to her immigration paperwork. “Well, I understand they’re looking at her very carefully,” Trump told reporters before departing the White House for Ohio. “I’ve always found her to be totally crooked personally, but that has nothing to do with me.”
