List of Democrats Who Did Not Sign Letter Against Ilhan Omar Investigation

Forty House Democrats did not sign a letter condemning the federal investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar and calling on the Trump administration to avoid further action that could affect the election.

The October 26 letter was led by Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state and signed by 175 members of Congress. It criticized the raid on the Minnesota Democrat’s Washington, D.C., home and urged Attorney General Todd Blanche and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to refrain from further action that could affect the election on November 3. Omar will face Republican John Nagel, a retired Minnesota State Patrol lieutenant.

Newsweek conducted a comparison of the published signatories with the House Democratic roster, identifying 40 Democrats who were not listed as signers, excluding Omar herself.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was among the Democrats who did not sign the letter, along with Representatives Steny Hoyer, Josh Gottheimer, Henry Cuellar, and Jared Golden.

Newsweek has contacted the offices of Omar, Pelosi, Hoyer, Cuellar, Golden and Gottheimer via email and is awaiting responses.

Not appearing on the letter does not establish that a member supports the investigation or disagrees with its criticism.
