Trump questions Ilhan Omar's name after Justice Department filing
A US Justice Department filing listed a different name for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Donald Trump then called for her to resign.
A filing by the US Justice Department listed a different name for Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar than the one she is publicly known by. US President Donald Trump then called on her to resign from office.
Al Jazeera frames the situation as a question: why Trump is questioning Omar's name. The available excerpt of the report contains only this basic information. It does not specify which name appeared in the filing, in what case it was submitted, or what reasoning Trump gave for his demand.
The Justice Department is the US federal government agency that represents the state in court and submits legal filings. The name listed in its document therefore became the trigger for a political attack on the congresswoman.
