Obama: Trump’s probe into Omar should ‘outrage all Americans’

Описание: Former President Barack Obama on Sunday called the Justice Department’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar “appalling,” saying the government is attempting to intimidate and deport one of President Donald Trump’s most outspoken critics. “The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president,” Obama wrote on social media.

CNN’s Katelyn Polantz updates us on the investigation and Audie Cornish and her group chat discuss why this may be a familiar tactic from the Trump playbook.
