US Representative Ilhan Omar has accused Donald Trump of using federal law enforcement to intimidate political opponents after agents searched her Washington, DC home on 12 October. The Minnesota Democrat made the allegation as she campaigns for re-election, less than a month before the US midterm elections.
The Justice Department said Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a judicially authorised search warrant as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Officials did not disclose further details in their statement, and no charges against Omar were announced in the initial accounts.
