We're learning more about the federal investigation into Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
0:07
Investigators have now interviewed her sister, Sarah Noor, according to CNN and Fox News
0:13
Federal agents searched Omar's Washington, D.C. home earlier this month, carrying out boxes of
0:18
material and seizing her cell phone. According to Reuters, investigators are looking into whether
0:23
Omar or members of her family provided false information when they came to the U.S. as refugees
0:28
or later applied for citizenship. CNN reports investigators are specifically looking into
0:34
whether Omar or her late father misrepresented her age when she became an American citizen in 2000
0:41
And according to Reuters, one possible goal of the investigation could be to strip Omar of her
0:46
U.S. citizenship and deport her. President Trump was asked about that possibility in the Oval Office
0:52
Tuesday. Could she be deported? Well, she could be. She could also go to jail
0:56
and she could also go to jail. You know, they keep talking about deportation. No
1:01
she could go to jail. This is just my opinion. I think she's a sick, a very dishonest person
1:08
but who hates our country. And she comes from a country that is essentially not even a country
1:17
Somalia. It's a real shithouse, okay? Omar has not been charged with a crime and no court has
1:24
found that she committed immigration fraud. She denies any wrongdoing and calls the raid an act
1:29
of political intimidation
