Fox News, Breitbart News, TheBlaze, One America News and The Epoch Times report that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has confirmed her office is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar's financial disclosures, separate from an immigration-related probe. The outlets say Homeland Security Investigations agents searched Omar's Washington home on Monday under a warrant signed by a federal judge. Pirro told Fox News, “Based upon the facts, we’ll follow them wherever they take us.” The Epoch Times reports that Omar's 2024 filing lists two businesses in which her husband holds stakes at a value of at least $1 million. Omar's spokesman did not return a request for comment.
