Summary
Omar said Tuesday that federal agencies never told her what she is being investigated for and that she is unsure whether DHS and DOJ are pursuing separate cases.
Most items seized in the Oct. 12 raid on her Washington home have been returned, she said, after agents reportedly took her cellphone, passport and computer and obtained a DNA sample.
Two known federal probes are underway: DHS is examining whether her immigration paperwork was fraudulently completed, and a separate case is looking at discrepancies in her financial disclosures.
The Minnesota Democrat returned to Capitol Hill after reelection and met for about 2 hours with lawyers Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz as the investigations continue.
