Trump Calls for Investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar

Outlets on the left, center and right report that Trump called for an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances amid claims about her wealth. Left-leaning outlets tie the demand to a wealth claim repeated by Fox and stress that household assets do not establish corruption. Center outlets compare the claim with Omar’s financial disclosures, emphasizing their wide estimates and limits. Right-leaning outlets foreground Trump’s call for a probe and the existing House inquiry.
