Vance Says DOJ Is Investigating Ilhan Omar Amid Growing Scrutiny

At the same time, Vance did not outline specific allegations, identify the scope of any inquiry or provide evidence of criminal conduct.

That leaves major questions unanswered about what exactly, if anything, the DOJ is examining

For now, the political impact may come faster than any legal developments.

Republicans are certain to seize on the vice president’s comments.

Democrats will likely argue this is another example of political targeting

But Vance’s words were unmistakable, The Daily Caller reported: “If we think there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime. ”

That statement alone is likely to keep Omar in the political spotlight in the days ahead.
