Embattled Congresswoman Ilhan Omar dismissed the media scrutiny of her citizenship and her relationships by joking that she simply 'looks good' on screens.

The Minnesota Democrat made the remark as she sat down with leftist streamer Hasan Piker ahead of a controversial event hosted by state lawmaker Omar Fateh.

'I feel like the media has a tendency, you know, to highlight everything that you do,' Piker told Omar in a livestream of their conversation before the main event.

'Some of the things I do, like - we're just normal Americans trying to go about our day-to-day and trying to organize against the Trump administration in the same way that, you know, white people are doing in general,' he continued. 'Why is that?'

'We just look really good on their screens,' Omar joked in response. 'They get tired of looking at their Botox faces.'

However, the woke representative is facing renewed scrutiny amid a sprawling Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into her citizenship.

The Somali-born Democrat gained citizenship through her father in the year 2000.

But federal authorities are now probing whether her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, changed her age on her citizenship application to indicate she was 17 years old instead of 18.

If she had been 18 years old when her father became a naturalized citizen, she would have been considered an adult and would have to pursue her own immigration process. If she was still 17, however, Omar would have qualified for citizenship automatically when her father's citizenship was approved.

Authorities are also said to be looking into Omar's marriage history, including longstanding, unproven allegations that her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was actually her brother.

The accusation, which originated years ago on a Somali-language blog, has repeatedly been denied by Omar. No court has established that she married a sibling or committed immigration fraud.

But in court filings related to the federal raid of Omar's Washington, DC home, the DOJ referred to the congresswoman by the name 'Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.' 

Investigators have also reportedly examined her financial filings, which have undergone revisions amid congressional scrutiny of her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett's, business interests.

Questions surrounding Mynett's reported wealth have intensified after disclosures suggested that businesses linked to him could be valued at up to $30 million.

Omar's legal difficulties escalated earlier this month when federal agents searched her Washington, DC, residence and seized personal property.

The congresswoman subsequently complained that she was prevented from contacting her attorney for around an hour following the search.

The Minnesota congresswoman has since assembled a heavyweight legal team featuring two Washington attorneys with extensive experience battling President Donald Trump.

Among those now representing Omar is Amy Jeffress, the high-profile lawyer who defended former President Joe Biden during investigations into his controversial use of an autopen to authorize presidential documents.

She has been joined by Joshua Matz, another prominent attorney who helped House Democrats pursue both of Trump's impeachments.

The two lawyers have already sent a seven-page letter to the DOJ demanding the return of  Omar's passport, electronic devices and other property taken during the search.

But President Trump has shown little inclination to ease the pressure on one of his fiercest Democratic critics.

On Saturday night, the president publicly demanded that Omar 'immediately' resign from Congress, alleging that she had been sworn into office under a name other than her own.

He also brought up Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar's former husband, and claimed his name matched that of her brother.

Trump then mocked Omar over an alleged response when she was asked whether she had married her brother.

'When asked whether or not she was married to her brother, she said, "Not to my knowledge,"' Trump said.

The president compared that response with how he said he would answer a similar question about marrying one of his sisters.

'I said, no. It's pretty simple, right?' Trump told the audience.

He then turned his fire on Somalia, where Omar was born, attacking the country and questioning why the congresswoman should be able to criticize the United States.

'She comes from one of the worst countries, maybe the worst country in the world, and she's telling us how to run our country,' Trump said.

The president accused Omar of using a false name when she was sworn into Congress and argued that she should immediately give up her seat.

'Because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must immediately resign from Congress, huh?' he said.

Amidst these investigations, Omar was criticized for appearing at an event with Piker.

'Ilhan Omar knows exactly who Hasan Piker is and what he has said,' her Republican opponent, John Nagel, posted on X.

He highlighted Piker's comment in 2019 that 'America deserved 9/11' and that he would vote for Hamas over Israel 'every single time.'

'This is not outreach,' Nagel wrote. 'It is the normalization of antisemitism, support for terrorists and contempt for America.'

He then demanded prominent state Democrats disavow Omar's appearance with Piker, as some Democratic Farmer Labor Party members in the Minnesota Legislature signed a message urging Piker's event in Minnesota to be canceled.

'Minnesotans reject hate!' they said in a joint statement. 'We strongly object to giving a platform and legitimacy to Hasan Piker, a nationally known Jew-hater, homophobe and misogynist.'

The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, meanwhile, said it was 'appalled' by Omar's decision to share the stage with Piker.

'Elevating someone with a longstanding record of antisemitic and hateful rhetoric is a betrayal of Jewish Minnesotans and harmful to the broader public,' it said. 

'Piker's rhetoric dehumanizes Jews and shifts responsibility for antisemitic violence onto its potential victims. It deserves unequivocal condemnation from everyone who claims to oppose bigotry and antisemitism.'

Republican gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth also said she was astonished that 'Democrat leaders invited a vile anti American left-wing radical to Minnesota.... a week before the election.

'This is the Democrats [sic] closing message to voters,' she suggested.

But the DFL Party distanced itself from the event, according to Fox 9.

'This is not a DFL-sanctioned event. Our DFL candidates are focused on talking directly with voters about the affordability crisis created by Donald Trump and his Republican rubber stamps,' Party Chairman Richard Carlbom said. 

'DFL values include respect and inclusion, and I condemn this individual's comments that divide us,' he added.
