United States President Donald Trump has suggested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the wealth of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar as his administration grapples with the fallout from the killing of demonstrator Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
The Republican president also said on Monday that he is sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to the state of Minnesota, which has been witnessing protests since federal immigration officers fatally shot Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, there on Saturday morning.
“Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all.”
Omar’s net worth has increased into the millions of dollars in recent years due to her husband’s wealth. Omar serves in the US House of Representatives, representing Minnesota.
look at yourself, ya big dumb prick
Every accusation is an admission.
Doesn’t she have a rich husband and got married?
She has already submitted her tax returns, unlike a certain someone who promised them a decade ago.
This from the most corrupt politician in US history… get fucking real.
“we’re investigating the 400th richest member of the house”
I wouldn’t mind this if it affected everyone equally.
Trump thinks everybody is dirty, and can be scared by an “investigation”.
My first rule of life: People are most suspicious of their own behavior. Cheaters think every one is cheating on them, thieves think everyone is stealing from them. If someone baselessly accuses you of something, they’re most likely doing it themselves.
Every accusation is an admission.
Well we know the buying a property and claiming it as your primary residence was. As she showed the application for the loan to a source right after being accused of it. And then another news company followed up on it and showed Trump filed applications to buy two properties in Florida claiming they were going to be his primary residence… While simultaneously claiming his primary residence was elsewhere. (I think Mar-A-Lago, but can’t remember)
Projection. Republicans ought to run a movie theater.
They’d burn through the fucking screens.
Republicans are running a movie theater. Except they run it like a Boulder Colorado movie theater showing The Dark Knight Rises.
Everyone except himself, of course. Every single investigation into him has been a “witch hunt”!
That’s how mafia states like Russia work.
Corrupt people think everyone has to be corrupt, liars think everyone has to be a liar, so on and so forth…
I guess Trump made this specific accusation because he saw the headlines about him making at least $1.4 billion in his first year back in office, and felt he needed to poison the well.
I know the DOJ has no credibility anymore, but god, imagine a world where they did their job and investigated the $400 million jet, the hundreds of millions of untraceable crypto and meme coins he’s started that foreign actors could use anonymously in violation of FECA and Constitutional emoluments restrictions, the “Board of Peace” donation fund controlled by Trump personally…
I’d actually support this if it wasn’t obvious retribution. We should constantly be closely watching how all elected officials are making money.
If he really cared about this, he’d go after Schmuck Schumer’s fortune. But then again, Schumer is one of his most useful assets in the Senate, he doesn’t want Schmuck to go anywhere.
I appreciate your sentiment, but Ilhan Omar’s “sudden wealth” is entirely attributable to her marrying a wealthy guy. That’s it, that explains it all. She married well. The right is only making a stink out of it because their camp is full of people too stupid and hateful for the truth to matter.
Even if everything was completely above board, there should be nothing left for the public to find out about their representatives’ finances. If they don’t want scrutiny, don’t run for office.
We need good-faith scrutiny, not politically motivated personal attacks backed by corrupt government agencies. This case is the latter.
And Donny is still a very good mate of the pedophile Epstein.
She can just say her taxes are under audit and will be released in 2 weeks. Rinse and repeat. That’s how this works, right?
How DARE she NOT be a BILLIONAIRE!
-Republicans?
More like “How dare a minority woman have any sentence of wealth. That’s a man’s job!” while not understanding she married a rich guy.
Five bucks it’s just progressive PAC money and Small dollar donations as far as political contributions are concerned (which surprise Donald is totally legal or are you advocating that we get money out of politics and have a campaign system that is publicly run and financed.)
Omar’s husband owes a few business, that’s where the money comes from. Trump may be confused because those businesses are profitable, and not just a front for money laundering like most Trump ventures.
