'JD Vance confirms DOJ investigation into yet another person Trump doesn't like'

[sop]

(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 president’s 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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s DOJ really is going after the progressive congresswoman."

"In response to a question about the administration’s interest in Omar, Vance said:"

"I don’t want to prejudge an investigation. I mean, you read the things about Ilhan Omar and about who she married and whether she didn’t marry this person or that person. It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody’s entitled to equal justice under the laws. So, we’re going to investigate it, we’re going to take a look at it. If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime. And that’s something the Department of Justice is looking at right now."
