Vance to Benny Johnson: 'We Actually Think That Ilhan Omar Definitely Committed Immigration Fraud'; Says He Spoke With Stephen Miller About 'the Remedies'

Asked by Benny Johnson for an update on the claim that Ilhan Omar married her brother, Vice President JD Vance said: “we actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America. And I talked to Stephen Miller about this actually recently. We’re trying to look at what the remedies are… what are the legal remedies now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud. How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually do the thing? How do you build a case necessary to get some justice for the American people?”

What this record shows: the Vice President states a conclusion (“now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud”) and, in the same answer, asks how an investigation and a case would be built. That is a public statement of the outcome before the method. It does not describe an open investigation; he describes looking for remedies. The Guardian’s paraphrase of the Miller remark is accurate.
