Former President Trump publicly criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar, labeling her "totally crooked" in response to reports that federal agents searched her home. The comments were made as part of his reaction to ongoing investigations involving the congresswoman.
During a departure from the White House for a trip to Ohio, former President Donald Trump addressed reporters regarding reports that federal agents had conducted a search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home.
