This is such a scoop. For many reasons, including: Trump had made a couple of comments about Omar in the first term, but neither she nor Somali Americans were a Trump obsession at that time. (But Somalis _were_ a Miller obsession.) www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

washingtonpost.com

Trump officials scrutinized Omar in 2019. They didn’t find citizenship issues.

The earlier review of Omar’s immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

Trump lies: "I won Minnesota 3 times. But they didn't give me the victory. I do great in Minnesota. I call it iron country. Best stuff in the world. They're a very dishonest state. When I lost Minnesota, people in Minnesota cried. I think I'm gonna go there."

Facing political defeat, Trump is blaming sky high gas and diesel prices on Ukraine’s attacks against Russian oil refineries—and is limiting Ukraine’s access to Starlink to make his point. But we know the truth: it's Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war on Iran to blame.
