President Donald Trump has raised doubts about Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's response to allegations that she married her brother to gain immigration benefits.

Omar denied the claims, calling them "insane," and said she was not related to her ex-husband to her knowledge, according to 600wmtradio.iheart.com.

The allegations surfaced amid a federal investigation into alleged immigration fraud, which included a raid on Omar's Washington, D.C., home by Homeland Security Investigations agents on October 12, Fox News reported.

Omar described the investigation as politically motivated and intended to intimidate voters, stating that the rumors originated on a Somali blog and were amplified by right-wing conspiracy theorists.

The Department of Justice has not publicly detailed the allegations, but Omar's sister reportedly spoke with federal investigators, and Omar's cellphone was seized during the inquiry, according to 600wmtradio.iheart.com.
