00:00So, the Ilhan Omar investigation by the Trump administration is heating up.
00:07There are two elements to this, the legal element and the political element.
00:13This is front page of The Post today, bad bromance.
00:16First of all, 10 out of 10 creativity there with the headlines.
00:20You guys have the best headlines, you just do.
00:22Yeah, but you know, the new information is that in 2016, the Obama administration,
00:27the Department of Homeland Security and the DOJ did say they had evidence implying that Elmi was her brother.
00:34We don't know what that evidence was.
00:36The case was closed, possibly because of political reasons.
00:39You know, Ilhan Omar was part of the squad.
00:41Obama was lame duck Democrat president on his way out.
00:44This whole thing is conveniently, you know, picked back up right before the midterm.
00:49So, obviously, there's the political story as well, which is like,
00:52what was Trump's first administration doing if they knew that this story was cooking?
00:56You're trying to show a conspiracy where the actions are 16 years apart.
01:02Is it political?
01:03Of course it's political.
01:05But Harvey, they're not going to let this one go.
01:07Of all the political enemies that Trump has gone after,
01:11this is the one where it seems like there's a little fire where there's smoke.
01:15Donald Trump is trying to persecute his enemies.
01:17Let's assume she married—
01:19Also, that's a tenet that he got elected on.
01:21That's something that he promised his constituents and his voters that he would do.
01:25He's making good on a campaign promise.
