Vance Says DOJ Is Investigating Ilhan Omar Amid Growing Scrutiny

Omar’s office has declined invitations to testify before the committee

Vance’s remarks also referenced broader concerns about fairness in how investigations are handled.

“Everyone is entitled to equal justice under the laws,” he said.

The vice president’s comments are likely to intensify political pressure on Omar as Republicans make corruption and fraud investigations a centerpiece of their 2026 campaign messaging

If the Justice Department is actively reviewing Omar, it would represent a significant development involving one of the Democratic Party’s highest-profile progressive lawmakers.

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