'JD Vance confirms DOJ investigation into yet another person Trump doesn't like'
(MS NOW) "As 2026 got underway, Donald Trump said his Justice Department had launched an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat whom the president seems to hate more than most other members of Congress. By the presidents telling, the DOJ probe followed a directive posted to his social media platform in which he said officials should investigate Omar for unspecified 'Financial and Political Crimes.' "
"There was no way to know whether Trumps claims were true or made up, but JD Vance spoke to reporters this week at a White House press briefing, during which the vice president confirmed that Trumps DOJ really is going after the progressive congresswoman."
"In response to a question about the administrations interest in Omar, Vance said:"
"I dont want to prejudge an investigation. I mean, you read the things about Ilhan Omar and about who she married and whether she didnt marry this person or that person. It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybodys entitled to equal justice under the laws. So, were going to investigate it, were going to take a look at it. If we think that theres a crime, were going to prosecute that crime. And thats something the Department of Justice is looking at right now."
