Vance Says DOJ Is Investigating Ilhan Omar Amid Growing Scrutiny

Earlier this month, Republicans on a Minnesota House committee attempted to subpoena Omar for documents related to the investigation

That effort failed after Democrats blocked the move in a tied committee vote.

GOP lawmakers have argued that pandemic waivers and loosened oversight created conditions that allowed widespread abuse in child nutrition programs.

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.
