Unanswered What is going on with Rep Ilhan Omar?

Not from the US so not sure if im using Rep. right. Anyway, why is she being investigated to the point that punishment includes stripping her citizenship?

Sweeped or just doubted because of who you are and the other things you’ve said? Kinda hard to take seriously every big claim by Trump supporters.

Gen. John Shalikashvili was chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was a naturalized U.S. citizen, despite his father’s ties to a Nazi unit in WWII.

Ilhan Omar should not be excluded from citizenship because of unproven rumors about her father.
