明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔在与律师进行冗长会谈后告诉福克斯新闻，她并不担心针对自身移民身份和财务文件的联邦调查会分散她为国会选区选民服务的精力。
伊尔汗·奥马尔在经历了丑闻缠身的秋季休会后，于本周重返国会山，并带来了两名律师随行。
福克斯新闻在周二发现这两名律师离开她位于华盛顿特区的办公室，当时他们看起来刚与众议员进行了一场约两小时的会面。
奥马尔聘请了两位高调的律师——艾米·杰弗里斯和约书亚·马茨，两人均为赫克勒·芬恩律师事务所的合伙人，正值两项调查同时展开之际。周二，在律师离开奥马尔的办公室后，福克斯新闻询问他们是否有信心为奥马尔抵御联邦政府的调查。

律师们还被问及一则最新消息：在奥马尔声称特朗普政府出于政治动机针对她后，奥巴马政府和拜登政府都最先对她展开了调查。
他们对此保持沉默。

这是奥马尔在两个联邦部门启动对这位索马里出生的国会议员的调查后，首次现身国会山，调查涉及她的移民身份和此前的财务文件。
10月，国土安全调查局（HSI）的特工搜查了她在华盛顿特区的住所，据福克斯新闻数字版了解，此次搜查是一项调查的一部分，调查内容为她或她的父亲在填写移民文件时是否存在欺诈行为。
她在竞选活动的最后几周里，呼吁为她辩护的捐款，并指责特朗普出于政治原因针对她。
周二，奥马尔的律师离开她的办公室约一小时后，这位国会议员与丈夫蒂姆·米内特一同离开。
福克斯新闻就正在进行的调查向她发问，询问她是否担心这会影响她有效代表国会选区选民的能力。
“我不担心，”奥马尔说。
随后，记者询问，尽管奥马尔刚刚赢得连任，但她是否有可能从国会辞职，让调查“顺其自然”。
国会议员微笑着向镜头挥手，但在电梯门关闭将她困在里面之前，她没有回应。

奥马尔还拒绝回应福克斯关于她是否已与众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯谈及调查的提问。
此前被看到离开她办公室的杰弗里斯和马茨，均曾代表过高级别的民主党民选官员，并参与多起针对唐纳德·特朗普总统、其盟友及支持者的案件。
杰弗里斯曾在拜登总统今年早些时候起诉司法部的案件中担任他的律师。她还曾担任时任众议院议长南希·佩洛西以及调查2021年1月6日国会山骚乱的众议院委员会的法律顾问。
她还与华盛顿特区联邦地区法院法官克里斯托弗·库珀结婚，该法官在5月裁定特朗普将自己的名字添加到约翰·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的行为是非法的。

马茨曾在特朗普第一个总统任期内两次失败的弹劾尝试中担任众议院民主党人的法律顾问。马茨还曾在两起民事诉讼中代理E·让·卡罗尔，就特朗普否认对她实施性侵犯的指控进行诉讼。
马茨还代理了反对《佛罗里达家长教育权利法案》的一方，该法案禁止教师向学生教授性别认同和性取向相关内容。

奥马尔尚未正式宣布与任何国会议员就两项正在进行的联邦调查举行会议。她就此事唯一的公开表态是在社交媒体上发布内容，其中包括一段视频，视频中她鼓励支持者在新的调查针对她之际继续捐款。

Ilhan Omar huddles with her DC-based lawyers during her first day back on Capitol Hill amid federal probes
Fox News spotted Omar’s lawyers leaving her office after a roughly two-hour meeting on Tuesday

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told Fox News she is not concerned that the federal investigations into her immigration status and financial filings will distract her from serving her constituents in Congress following a lengthy meeting with her lawyers.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., returned to Capitol Hill this week and brought two lawyers with her after a scandal-plagued fall recess.
Fox News spotted the two attorneys exiting her Washington, D.C., office Tuesday after what appeared to be a roughly two-hour meeting with the congresswoman.
Omar hired two high-profile attorneys, Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz, both of whom are partners at Heckler Fink LLP, amid dueling investigations. After emerging from Omar’s office on Tuesday, Fox News asked about their confidence in Omar’s defense against the federal government.
OBAMA ADMIN FIRST LAUNCHED THE INVESTIGATION INTO ILHAN OMAR’S ALLEGED BROTHER MARRIAGE
The attorneys were also asked about the recent news that both the Obama and Biden administrations had been the first to investigate Omar after she claimed that the Trump administration was politically targeting her.
They remained silent.

This is the first sighting of Omar back on the Hill after two federal departments opened investigations into the Somali-born congresswoman looking into both her immigration status and previous financial filings.
In October, agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided her Washington, D.C., home as part of what Fox News Digital learned was an investigation into whether she or her father committed fraud when filling out her immigration paperwork.
She spent the final weeks of her campaign asking for money to defend herself in the investigations and accusing Trump of targeting her for political reasons.
About an hour after Omar’s lawyers exited her office Tuesday, the congresswoman departed with husband Tim Mynett.
She was approached by Fox News about the ongoing investigation and asked whether she is concerned it could affect her ability to effectively represent her constituents in Congress.
“I am not,” Omar said.
She was then asked if there was any chance she would step down from Congress despite just winning re-election to let the investigation “play out.”
The congresswoman smiled and waved at the camera but did not respond as the elevator doors closed with her inside.

Omar also refused to respond to Fox’s question about whether she had spoken to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about the investigation.
The attorneys seen exiting her office earlier, Jeffress and Matz, have both represented high-ranking Democratic elected officials and have taken on multiple cases against President Donald Trump, his allies and supporters.
Jeffress served as former President Joe Biden’s attorney in his lawsuit against the Justice Department earlier this year. She also served as counsel for then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill.
She is also married to U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper of the District of Washington, who ruled in May that Trump’s addition his name to the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center was illegal.

Matz served as counsel to House Democrats during both failed impeachment attempts against Trump during his first term in office. Matz also represented E. Jean Carroll in two civil cases against Trump’s denial of her sexual assault claims against him.
Matz also represented those opposed to the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, which banned teachers from teaching students about gender identity and sexual orientation.

Omar has not yet formally announced a meeting with any members of Congress about the two ongoing federal probes. Her only formal address to the public on the investigations was posting to social media, including a video in which she encouraged her supporters to keep sending money in light of the new investigations against her.
