美国司法部长珍妮·皮罗表示，她的办公室正在调查众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔（民主党-明尼苏达州）的财务披露情况，就在联邦特工前一天搜查了她位于华盛顿特区的住所之后。
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office is probing Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) financial disclosures, the day after federal agents searched the congresswoman's Washington, D.C. home. The big picture:
大局：这是政府与这位进步派议员之间日益激烈冲突的又一例证。奥马尔因在移民打压问题上与白宫发生冲突而备受关注——而特朗普总统曾将她称为“腐败分子”。
It's another example of the administration's escalating fight with the progressive lawmaker, who has clashed with the White House over its immigration crackdown — and whom President Trump has labeled as "crooked."
推动新闻：当被问及国会行为办公室此前对其财务申报的伦理调查时——该办公室曾表示该调查已清白奥马尔——皮罗周二在福克斯新闻台《美国报道》节目中表示：“这也正在接受调查。”她还说：“众议院做什么无关紧要。你知道，这个机构或那个机构做什么也无关紧要。我们只看事实。基于事实，我们将顺着事实走向何处。”她进一步确认，她的办公室正在负责此次调查。
Driving the news: Asked about a prior ethics probe into financial filings from the Office of Congressional Conduct, which her office said cleared Omar, Pirro said Tuesday on Fox News' "America Reports" that "is subject of an investigation as well." • "It doesn't matter what the House does. It doesn't matter, you know, what this agency or that does. We're looking at the facts. Based upon the facts, we'll follow them wherever they take us," she said, and confirmed her office is handling the probe.
快速了解：联邦特工在周一凌晨前对奥马尔的住所进行了搜查，这是另一起移民调查的一部分。
Catch up quick: Federal agents searched Omar's home before dawn Monday as part of a separate immigration probe,
- 奥马尔在X平台上的一篇帖子中将此次搜查描述为“针对政治对手的行动，并试图将联邦执法武器化。”
• Omar described the search in an X post as "an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement."
- 特朗普多次公开抨击索马里移民，包括奥马尔——他在去年一篇帖子中称她“总是裹着她的襁裳头巾”，并且是“我们国家里最差的‘国会议员’之一”。
• Trump has repeatedly lashed out against Somali immigrants, including Omar — who he described in a post last year as "always wrapped in her swaddling hijab" and "the worst 'Congressman/woman'" in our Country."
全局视角：奥马尔办公室向《Axios》指出，《华尔街日报》上个月的报道称，国会行为办公室曾建议众议院伦理委员会驳回对奥马尔的指控——即她可能因在财务披露中报告虚假或不完整信息而违反众议院规则或法律。
Zoom out: Omar's office pointed Axios to The Wall Street Journal's reporting last month that the Office of Congressional Conduct recommended that the House Ethics Committee dismiss allegations that she possibly violated House rules or law by reporting false or incomplete information in her financial disclosures.
- 去年提交的一份披露文件显示，奥马尔及其丈夫的资产范围在600万美元至3000万美元之间。
• A disclosure filed last year listed Omar and her husband's assets as ranging from $6 million to $30 million.
-
《华尔街日报》首次报道称，她后来修改了该表格，将资产范围调整得更低，她的团队称这是由于会计错误所致。引用其团队的说法。
-
皮罗的办公室未回应Axios的置评请求。
• She later amended the form to reflect a much lower range, the Journal first reported, citing what her team said were accounting errors. • Pirro's office did not respond to Axios's request for comment.
他们说：皮罗在福克斯新闻节目中亮相后，特朗普在Truth Social上分享了一篇帖子，暗示（但未提供证据）奥马尔从明尼苏达州的欺诈行为中获益。
What they're saying: After Pirro's appearance on Fox News, Trump shared a post on Truth Social suggesting, without evidence, that Omar benefited from fraud in Minnesota
