As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rep. Ilhan Omar is being asked to provide records and answer questions about her ties to the “Feeding Our Future” investigation. State Rep. Kristin Robbins has sent a formal letter to Omar, citing her absence from a committee hearing and requesting documentation. The letter raises questions about Omar’s promotion of a Minneapolis restaurant linked to the program and her ties to individuals charged or implicated in the case. The request also includes information about Omar’s personal financial disclosures and accusations of immigration fraud. The committee is seeking answers and records by May 5.
It’s another example of how a congressional hearing can turn into a game of hide-and-seek.
