@japdmedia26: Washington, D.C., USA 🇺🇸 — Rep. Ilhan Omar has assembled a legal team featuring two prominent Washington attorneys with experience in major legal battles involving President Donald Trump. Omar has retained Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz, both partners at Hecker Fink LLP, as she faces federal investigations involving her immigration history and financial disclosures. Jeffress previously served as counsel to the House January 6 Committee and represented former FBI attorney Lisa Page during congressional scrutiny connected to the Russia investigation. She is also a former federal prosecutor with extensive experience in government investigations. Matz previously represented House Democrats during both of Trump's impeachment proceedings and worked with the January 6 Committee. He was also part of the legal team representing writer E. Jean Carroll in her civil cases against Trump. The attorneys have already challenged the government's handling of a federal search of Omar's Washington residence on October 12. In a letter sent to the Justice Department on October 16, they demanded the return of property seized during the search and raised concerns about whether investigators followed the court's required procedures. The Justice Department has disputed allegations that agents violated the court's instructions. Omar has denied wrongdoing and is continuing to defend herself as the investigations proceed. The appointment brings together two attorneys with experience in congressional investigations, constitutional disputes and high-profile litigation as the Minnesota congresswoman prepares for her legal fight. #IlhanOmar #AmyJeffress #JoshuaMatz #DCUSA #japd
