Ilhan Omar probe: Judge limited what feds could access

532 this morning, and we continue following developments into the investigation of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar after her home was raided by the feds on Monday. Omar posting a new thank you message online yesterday, saying in part, quote, Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress. I've always stood up to him, and that will never change, end quote. This comes as there are some new questions about the investigation. The Trump administration is reportedly examining whether the Minnesota lawmaker obtained her American citizenship fraudulently. But reports suggest some of those same allegations were reviewed years ago. Alex Hoff has the latest from Washington. Good morning, Alex. Good morning to you both. The federal judge signed off on the search of Omar's Washington home earlier this week, but we're now learning that the judge also placed restrictions on what investigators could access. With midterms just weeks away, the timing is raising questions on Capitol Hill. A federal investigation into one of President Trump's biggest critics is growing, and now new questions about whether the government has enough evidence to make its case. I think she's a terrible person. I think she's a terrible congresswoman. I don't think she loves our country at all, but I don't take it personally Investigators are examining whether Congresswoman Ilhan Omar or her family provided false information on immigration documents decades ago, including questions about her age when she became an American citizen. One is establishing that her father was naturalized in the first place. So far, we don't have evidence of that. But here's the twist. The Washington Post reports federal officials reviewed similar allegations during Trump's first term and found insufficient evidence of wrongdoing. Omar denies any wrongdoing, calling the search of her home political intimidation. Suggest all you want, please investigate what you want, right? And the scrutiny doesn't stop with her immigration history. Federal prosecutors are also investigating Omar's financial disclosures. We're looking at the facts based upon the facts, we'll follow them wherever they take us. Republicans say the investigation should be allowed to play out. No one is above the law in our system and apparently this was a long series, a long investigation. But with Election Day approaching, the timing is under scrutiny, and the Justice Department is defending its decision to move forward. The investigation could have consequences far beyond criminal charges. Reuters reports the administration is exploring whether it could strip Omar of her American citizenship and ultimately deport her. But that would require a legal process, and Omar has not been charged with a crime. Hannah Shin u. All right, Alex Hoff with the latest in Washington for us on this Friday. Thank you, Alex. 5 35 this morning and topping national headlines this morning. A 16 year old boy opens fire at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, killing four people. This is about three hours south of Portland. We first started bringing you this story yesterday. Authorities now say that the teen killed three children and hurt a teacher before being shot by a witness at the scene. Police say the suspect was found dead inside the school minutes after that shooting was first reported. Police have identified him as a Bend resident, but they still haven't revealed if he knew anyone at the school or was in any way associated with the school. We are going to have more details coming up on this story here at six o'clock. Also topping headlines, the Fort Hood shooter's execution will no longer be live streamed. This comes after last week's announcement drew quick backlash from lawmakers, retired military and religious leaders. President Trump says the immediate families of the victims will be allowed to view the execution in person if they choose. Nadal Hassan opened fire at the base in 2009, killing 13 people, including a soldier from Minnesota. His execution by firing squad is scheduled for December 3rd.
