(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump is calling on U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar to resign amid the ongoing federal investigation into the Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota.
“It was just revealed just a little while ago that . . . her name is not Ilhan Omar, the one that she used to get elected and sworn into Congress,” Trump said during a rally in Iowa on Thursday. “She used a fake name to be sworn in. I assume she must immediately have to resign from Congress.”
