Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's D.C. home

Federal agents searched the Washington, D.C. home of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, with sources saying the investigation centers on immigration documents filed by her late father when she was a child. Omar called the search a weaponization of federal law enforcement and said she would not be silenced. Democrats condemned it as a rogue abuse of power three weeks before the midterm election. President Donald Trump said he did not order the search, though he had previously announced a Justice Department investigation into Omar.
