Former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) began an investigation into the finances of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the Somali refugee turned far-left politician, after reports suggested that she has amassed a multi-million-dollar net worth since being elected to Congress, the New York Times reports. This week, the Times reported that the DOJ opened a probe into Omar’s finances in 2024 — suggesting that President Donald Trump’s questioning of how Omar got her wealth was also a question raised by federal prosecutors under the Biden administration.
“The Justice Department under the Biden administration opened an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, in 2024 to scrutinize her finances, campaign spending, and interactions with a foreign citizen, according to people with knowledge of the matter,” the Times reports.
