DOJ Charges Man Accused of Spraying Rep. Ilhan Omar

Coverage reports that Rep. Ilhan Omar was sprayed at a Minneapolis town hall and that Trump later suggested she arranged the attack. Left-leaning outlets connect Trump’s rhetoric about Omar to the assault and criticize his response. Center outlets pair accounts of the attack with Trump’s accusation, with some noting a lack of evidence; one report also mentions a federal charge against the accused. Right-leaning outlets emphasize staging suspicions, with one developing that possibility and the other comparing reactions to attacks on Omar and Trump.
