INTRO: Federal investigators confirming they’ve obtained Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s D-N-A and passport as part of an investigation into her immigration status. Fox’s David Spunt with the latest from D-C.
ACK: Fox’s David Spunt in Washington, D.C.
TAG: Omar immigrated to the U-S in 19-95 and became a naturalized citizen in 2000. Authorities are specifically looking at paperwork filed by her father which they say is closely connected to Omar’s path into the U-S. In the past, D-O-J has refrained from taking major investigatory steps like this in the months prior to an election … amid concerns that it could be seen as election inference.
KEYWORD: Politics, Crime, Legal
