Federal agents raided Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's Washington home just three weeks before the US midterm elections, raising questions about President Donald Trump's involvement after senior administration officials publicly discussed investigating her. Trump insists he had 'nothing to do' with the operation, but Omar has accused his administration of using federal law enforcement to intimidate political opponents.
The 12 October search followed months of immigration fraud allegations against the Somali-born lawmaker, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. No publicly disclosed evidence establishes that Trump personally ordered or authorised the raid.
