He called Omar &#8220;crooked,&#8221; a &#8220;terrible person,&#8221; and criticized her background, especially her Somali origins and her stance on U.S. constitutional issues. Trump also labeled her a &#8220;disaster&#8221; during a rally in Youngstown, ohio, where he criticized Somalia and Omar&#8217;s impact on Minnesota. The FBI executed a search warrant at Omar\u2019s Washington-area home as part of an examination into her immigration paperwork,which was filled out by her late father. Omar described the investigation as politically motivated and accused Trump of targeting her with smear campaigns. The Justice Department confirmed the search was part of an ongoing criminal probe, with officials suggesting they might have gathered notable evidence. Omar maintained her innocence and condemned what she viewed as political intimidation, while Trump criticized her again during the rally, blaming her and other Democrats for issues in Minnesota and expressing strong opinions about her background and immigration status.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump said Monday he had nothing to do with the search of Rep.
