Todd Blanche tells ‘Pod Force One’ Ilhan Omar will be given one right Trump was denied during indictments
NY Post ^ | 10/21/26 | Victor Nava

Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is allowed to speak freely about the federal immigration fraud investigation against her – a privilege President Trump was not afforded during his legal woes, Attorney General Todd Blanche noted on the latest episode of “Pod Force One.”

Blanche, who served as Trump’s personal lawyer when the president faced four criminal indictments during his 2024 campaign, couldn’t discuss the details of the ongoing case against Omar but drew a contrast between the Minnesota Democrat’s treatment and the various gag orders imposed on Trump.

“To the extent that [Omar’s] commented on it, one of the things that she said is that we’re not going to keep her quiet, right? We’re not trying to keep her quiet,” Blanche told “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine.

“There’s no effort by the Department of Justice, unlike the last Department of Justice that worked very hard to keep President Trump quiet by getting gag orders and the like – that’s not what we’re doing,” the attorney general added.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith asked judges to place gag orders on Trump in the election interference and classified documents cases.

Smith was successful in the election interference case, but a judge denied the prosecutor’s effort to keep Trump from discussing the classified documents case.

The president was also subjected to gag orders during his civil fraud and “hush money” trials in Manhattan.

Was mention made this started under byeDUHn? At least rumor has it. I’ll believe it when I see her and family deplaning in mogadishou. She can run for Queen there.

I hope they do let her run her mouth - let her explain why she married her brother when the feds show her DNA proof.

Let her scream “racist witch hunt” all the way out of congress and back to Somalia - where she belongs.

She will just dig herself in deeper - with lefties and the media supporting her, of course

My thought is that this will continue to the midterms and then DoJ will drop it.
