## Summary

Ilhan Omar returned to Capitol Hill amid two federal investigations and met for about two hours with lawyers Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz. Their presence marks a new public development in the probes, which concern her immigration status and financial filings, after Omar had accused the Trump administration of targeting her politically.

Omar said she was not concerned that the investigations would affect her ability to represent constituents, but did not answer questions about whether she might leave Congress or had discussed the matter with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The article says Homeland Security Investigations agents searched her Washington home in October as part of an inquiry into possible fraud involving immigration paperwork. Omar won re-election and has asked supporters to contribute towards her legal costs.
