Mullin says DHS sent a large Omar investigation to DOJ
Politics · First reported 30 Oct, 23:23 · Updated 10:15
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said his department presented the Justice Department with a “large case” involving Rep. Ilhan Omar and other individuals. Omar has not been charged, denies wrongdoing and says the investigation is politically motivated.
- Mullin said Homeland Security Investigations worked on the case before referring it to the Justice Department, which is leading the investigation.
- Court filings described an inquiry extending beyond Omar; agents also searched her sister’s home, and grand jury subpoenas went to more than a dozen recipients.
- Omar has denied wrongdoing and called the inquiry politically motivated. More than 170 House Democrats urged the Justice Department to drop it, citing a 2019 review that found insufficient evidence of wrongdoing.

Background
- An earlier Lux summary said reporting focused on revisions to Omar’s 2009 marriage-license application and allegations about her marriage and immigration history, while noting that the supplied articles described allegations and an investigation rather than a finding of fraud.
- An earlier Lux story headline attributed to a Minnesota representative the claim that people knew by 2016 that Omar had married her brother; the available earlier-story information provides no further details.
