The New York Post, RedState, Townhall and TheBlaze report that federal agents raided the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar in an immigration fraud probe, and that rumors have circulated that she left the country. Her husband, Tim Mynett, dismissed the rumors and declined to answer a Fox News Digital reporter’s question about her whereabouts. He said his wife came to the United States at age 12 as a child war refugee. The outlets say President Donald Trump posted about accusations over financial disclosure discrepancies in Omar’s filings, and that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told Fox News her office is investigating financial matters related to Omar.
