The legal eagles defending embattled “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar from prison or deportation include former President Biden’s “autopen” personal attorney and the white-shoe lawyer who quarterbacked both of President Trump’s impeachments.
The Somalia-born Omar’s defense duo boasts impressive lefty legal pedigrees, but neither specializes in immigration law — raising questions about whether the Minnesota Democrat is more concerned about her husband’s alleged $30 million fraudulent windfall than she is about her immigration status.
Amy Jeffress, a partner at boutique DC firm Hecker Fink, became Biden’s personal attorney in 2025, succeeding longtime confidant Bob Bauer.
She represented the gaffe-prone former president as he faced investigations into his use of an autopen to sign presidential pardons and legislation.
A former attorney with DC firm Arnold & Porter, she played a role in some of the most intense partisan battles involving Congress.
She did outside work as counsel for the House Jan. 6 committee, helping push to haul in officials through subpoena authority. She previously represented former FBI lawyer Lisa Page — one of the “FBI lovers” who wrote anti-Trump texts during the 2016 presidential campaign that lead to accusations of “deep state” political bias and her eventual resignation.
The other half of Omar’s legal squad is Joshua Matz, also a partner at Hecker Fink, who represented House Democrats during both Trump impeachments and served on the legal team of the House Jan. 6. committee.

You’d think that Omar, or whatever her name is, would want full disclosure. She wants to prove Trump is a liar, right?
