US media: Trump responds to agents searching Omar's residence, says 'has nothing to do with me'

According to reports from the Associated Press, NBC News and other media outlets, U.S. President Trump responded on Monday local time to "U.S. federal agents raiding the residence of Somali-born Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar," saying the matter "has nothing to do with me." According to the reports, earlier the same day, U.S. federal agents raided the Washington, D.C. residence of the Minnesota Democratic representative Omar to investigate immigration documents related to her. Fox News previously reported that the operation was carried out by agents from U.S. Homeland Security Investigations. The reason for the search was a "criminal fraud investigation" into Omar's immigration documents, and the relevant materials were filled out on her behalf by her late father when she was a child. NBC reported that when asked about the raid on Monday, Trump told reporters that it "has nothing to do with me," adding that investigators are "looking at her very carefully." "Personally, I've always found her to be very dishonest, but that has nothing to do with me," Trump said. "I think she's a terrible person, but that's really up to the Department of Justice to judge."
