President Donald Trump took a direct shot at Representative Ilhan Omar on Monday, calling for an investigation into her skyrocketing net worth. In a Truth Social post, Trump highlighted reports that Omar is now worth over $44 million despite arriving from Somalia with nothing. The President suggested that the DOJ and Congress are already looking into the left-wing lawmaker’s finances as part of a broader crackdown.
Omar quickly fired back on X, accusing the President of "panicking" as his support supposedly collapses. She dismissed the claims as "lies and conspiracy theories" intended to deflect from administration failures. "Years of 'investigations' have found nothing," Omar wrote, while demanding that Trump get his "goons" out of Minnesota.
The President’s comments were part of a larger announcement regarding a massive welfare fraud investigation in the Gopher State. Trump claims that over $20 billion has been stolen through welfare fraud in Minnesota, fueled by radical activism. He believes this corruption is partially responsible for the violent, organized protests currently plaguing the streets of Minneapolis.
"Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Ilhan Omar... knows everything there is to know," Trump declared in a separate post earlier this month. He even suggested that Omar should be jailed or deported back to Somalia for her alleged role in the "Somalia Fraud." The President argued that instead of complaining about the USA, she could help to "Make Somalia Great Again."
Omar remains one of the most vocal critics of federal law enforcement, repeatedly calling for the total abolition of ICE. She recently declared that the agency is "beyond reform" and should be dismantled immediately. This stance has put her at direct odds with the Trump administration’s surge of federal agents into her home district.
As Border Czar Tom Homan heads to Minnesota to oversee operations, the investigation into Omar’s wealth appears to be gaining momentum. While the Representative maintains her innocence, the President insists that "time will tell all." The standoff between the White House and the "Squad" member continues to intensify as federal investigators dig deeper into Minnesota’s financial records.
