Omar denies wrongdoing, blames Trump administration
Omar denies any wrongdoing and says these accusations are politically motivated by the Trump administration.
Omar stated on social media that the president has spent a decade targeting her with smear campaigns and vowed not to be silenced.
Meanwhile, controversy continues around the US government spending nearly $22 million in taxpayer money on Trump ads, even after being ordered by a federal judge to stop, raising more questions about political tactics this election season.
