Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to respond to a request from a Minnesota committee seeking more information on her ties to the massive fraud scandal in the state, prompting a failed subpoena vote on Tuesday, but the committee’s chair says more options exist.
The subpoena, which required a two-thirds committee vote in favor to pass, only got five out of the six votes needed despite the committee's Republican majority.
"We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents," State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, said ahead of the vote. "We have endeavored in multiple ways to get access to [information] because, as everyone knows, Representative Omar had had some role, whether inadvertent or not. She passed the MEALS Act in March of 2020, and that took the guardrails off the federal school nutrition program, which created the conditions for [fraud]."
"I do think the subpoena is important. This is one of dozens, if not hundreds of things we are investigating. We have had hundreds of whistleblower reports. They continue to come in weekly," Robbins added, noting she will continue to try to reach out to Omar's office to get cooperation. "Even though the committee will no longer have official hearings we will continue to investigate these whistleblower reports and webs of fraud."
Fox News Digital touched base with Robbins on Tuesday about possible next steps.
"They're fading," Robbins said about the committee’s options after a failed subpoena vote. "But I'll certainly talk to our friends in Congress to see if they would be willing to issue a subpoena."

CHANGE THE “INVITE” TO SUBPOENA” & QUIT FOOLING AROUND.
They have enough to get her on immigration fraud. Just arrest her.
How could they NOT subpoena her????
So,..5 out 6 isn’t 2/3?
I’m confused.
Need six to have 2/3, they got five.
Well, meybe they teach this sort of question at the Quality Leering Center! I suppose that any answer is correct provided the government funding continues! ??
Requested? Invited?
“How could they NOT subpoena her????”
Perhaps they don’t have that power at the state level but they sure do on the fed level. Yet the feds do NOTHING.
