Ilhan Omar’s Claim of Political Persecution By Trump Completely IMPLODES as Judge Who Approved Warrant to Search Her Home is Officially Revealed

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been claiming that last week’s raid on her DC home is nothing but political persecution by a ‘vengeful’ President Trump and is pleading her innocence. Now, we can officially put that nonsense to rest in dramatic fashion.

On Wednesday, CNN officially revealed that Justice Department prosecutors first had to go through Judge Matthew Sharbaugh, a federal magistrate judge on the DC District Court.

Before approving the warrant to raid Omar’s home, Sharbaugh limited how the DOJ could access her documents because of her role as a member of Congress.

From CNN:

Prosecutors, however, first had to contend with a federal magistrate judge, in a prolonged back-and-forth that hasn’t previously been reported.

Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the DC District Court ultimately limited how the Justice Department could access Omar’s documents in Monday’s search, before he would approve the warrant, because of her role as a member of Congress and the Constitutional protections that affords, multiple people familiar with the investigation told CNN.

As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Article III Project founder and former Senate Judiciary Committee counsel Mike Davis strongly suspected that Sharbaugh was the judge who granted the warrant to search Omar’s home.

To back up his case, he said the DC U.S. District Court’s public website showed Sharbaugh was the magistrate on criminal duty from October 3 through October 16, 2026, the period covering the raid. Of course, there was still a very small possibility that Sharbaugh may not have been able to attend during that time.

The fact that Sharbaugh approved the warrant is all the more shocking considering his background.

Davis noted in a Fox News op-ed published on Sunday that Sharbaugh financially supported Crooked Hillary in her failed presidential campaign against Trump in 2016.

He also clerked TWICE for a judge appointed by former President Barack Obama.

From Davis:

Before becoming a judge, Sharbaugh donated to Hillary Clinton during her losing 2016 campaign against President Trump. Sharbaugh clerked twice for Judge Robert Wilkins, a leftist appointee of President Obama, on both the D.C. U.S. District Court and the D.C. U.S. Circuit.

Judge Wilkins was one of the three D.C. U.S. circuit judges rammed through by former Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at the end of 2013, just before Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate.

Sharbaugh also has a history of ruling against the Trump Administration in notable cases.

For example, Sharbaugh RELEASED a woman back in August who was accused of deliberately defacing the World War II Memorial, allowing her to leave custody on nothing more than a personal recognizance bond.

This came despite the DOJ’s pleadings.

The Gateway Pundit reported that federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of Omar early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

The pre-dawn raid was part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.

According to her website, Omar arrived in the United States in March 1995, when she was 12 years old. She came with her family as a Somali refugee after spending approximately four years in a refugee camp in Kenya. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, at age 17.

Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were observed outside the residence around 6 a.m.
