Vance says Rep. Ilhan Omar is under DOJ investigation 'right now'
The Justice Department is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday.
Omar has faced questions about immigration fraud, family finances, and her potential ties to a COVID-era fraud scheme in Minnesota.
“I don’t want to prejudge an investigation,” Vance said. “It certainly seems like something fishy is there.”

Vance, who is in charge of the administration’s efforts to combat fraud, said previously Omar “definitely committed immigration fraud.”
“If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime, and that’s something the Department of Justice is looking at right now,” he said.
