Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says his department has presented the Justice Department with a large case against Rep. Ilhan Omar that targets multiple people, and that the DOJ is leading the federal investigation. He told Fox News that Homeland Security Investigations officials searched Omar’s home on Oct. 12. TheGrio reports that the probe has expanded into marriage and family records over a long-running marriage-fraud allegation that Omar has repeatedly denied. The New York Post reports that a 2009 driver’s license copy on file in Hennepin County shows Omar crossing out her surname and then restoring it.
