A spokeswoman for Omar said she "has repeatedly and unequivocally denied this baseless, disgusting conspiracy theory."
But indications that Omar faced scrutiny ten years ago make it harder to characterize this as wild, right-wing conjecture emanating from the blogosphere.
"Who ordered [the investigation] closed?" Fox contributor Paul Mauro asked. "Reportedly, both administrations had opened cases into this. We now know how much smoke there is."
Omar campaigned for the state legislature in 2016. Her campaign released a letter from the U.S. attorney saying it "wasn’t investigating" nor requesting an inquiry into Omar.
So was she cleared? Or does word of the old probe pour petrol on the flames?
"Omar will talk about it and say, ‘They've looked into this. Nothing came about it,’" said University of Minnesota political science professor Kathryn Pearson. "But I think it's also a talking point that Republicans will use. So, I think sort of both sides will try to use that to their advantage."
John Nagel is Omar’s Republican opponent on the ballot next week. Nagel views the new investigation as a political wedge.
"With the raid on her home, people should keep this in mind. It's a very serious accusation," Nagel said. "As far as I'm concerned, Somalia comes first in her life. And we are nothing more than a piggy bank for her."

I thought that was why one of her supporters finagled the case into Judge Boasberg’s hands, so it would go away.

For me personally, if she escapes prosecution and deportation thats it. Put a fork in us. Ill be taking a massive step back from any politics of any kind too.
I like the timing (of the noise about her) too...
Think Benghazi. Who ordered our guys to STAND DOWN? No one knows so she’ll get away with this one. Blame republicans for no fight in them.
Craig Livingstone got away with not saying Hillary hired him. Total BS and if we keep either branch of congress the heat needs to be put on OUR people. Gettin’ tired of this $hit.
That guy sure disappeared down into a deep hole.
