Trump Says Justice Department Looking at Rep. Ilhan Omar 'Very Carefully'
The US president called Omar "a terrible person" but said any Justice Department action is not something he is involved in.

US President Donald Trump said the Justice Department is looking at Representative Ilhan Omar "very carefully," according to Anadolu Agency.
"I think she's a terrible person, but that's really up to the DOJ — I have nothing to do with it," Trump said, distancing himself personally from any decision-making while offering a sharply critical personal assessment of the Minnesota congresswoman.
Trump did not specify what aspect of Omar's conduct or record the Justice Department is reportedly examining, and the report did not include a response from Omar's office or from the Justice Department confirming the nature or status of any review.
Omar, a Democratic member of the US House of Representatives, has previously been a frequent target of criticism from Trump and other Republican officials. It remains unclear from the available report whether any formal investigation has been opened or what specific matter might be under review.
No timeline was given for when any findings or next steps related to the reported review might be made public.
