Representative Ilhan Omar refutes former President Donald Trump's claims about her wealth, accusing him of deflecting from his administration's failures.

Donald Trump ’s Democratic foe Ilhan Omar has clapped back at the president’s perpetual obsession with her personal wealth.post on Monday announcing he was sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to clean up the mess left by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and “Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars,“ Trump claimed, spelling her name wrong.

“Time will tell all.”Omar, 43, shared Trump’s post and attempted to shoot down his claims as a form of deflection from other issues in his administration.. “Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of ‘investigations’ have found nothing.”Omar then weighed in on the ICE raids the president sanctioned in Minneapolis by adding, “Get your goons out of Minnesota.” By Trump’s social media calculations, Omar has impressively increased her fortune by $14 million in less than a week. On Jan. 22, Trump posted, “Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is worth over $30 Million Dollars,” mastering the spelling of her name.He went on, “There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician. She should be investigated for Financial and Political Crimes, and that investigation should start, NOW!” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration is investigating any link between Omar’s personal assets and the fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs.reporters on Monday. “Is she connected to the fraud rings that we have taking place within her state and her own district? It’s a question the American people are raising, and the president believes it’s one worth answering.”post earlier this month where he claimed the Somalian-born Democrat had links to the government benefits fraud in Minnesota that MAGA figures have blamed on the state’s Somali American population. “There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know,” TrumpTrump questioned the source of the Somalian-born congresswoman's personal wealth.Last month, Trump unleashed on Omar in a rant at the White House where he said Somalia is “barely a country.” Speaking of Omar, he said he did not know her personally, but added, “I think she’s an incompetent person, she’s a real terrible person.” After saying he did not want Somalians in America, he continued, “Ilhan Omar is garbage, her friends are garbage... These are people that do nothing but complain. We don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.”
