Incoming House Minority Whip Tom Emmer Says DOJ Is “FINALIZING” Review of Ilhan Omar’s Citizenship — Claims FOUR Different Issues Under Investigation and Warns She Could Be KICKED OUT of Congress

Rep. Tom Emmer believes that if the Department of Justice confirms Rep. Ilhan Omar was over 18 when she claimed derivative citizenship, she would no longer be a U.S. citizen and thus ineligible to serve in Congress. Emmer stated the DOJ is finalizing its review, which he understands is looking into four different issues, including the discrepancy in her birth year. He suggested that confirmation of her age would automatically disqualify her from serving, potentially leading to her physical removal from the House floor without the need for an expulsion vote.
