Trump suggests Rep. Ilhan Omar may have to resign from Congress

The crowd cheers as President Donald Trump says Rep. Ilhan Omar must resign from Congress. USA TODAY's Short captures the demand at a Sioux City, Iowa, rally, then turns to the federal investigation that Omar describes as politically motivated.

The report says federal agents searched Omar's Washington-area home earlier this month as part of an investigation into her citizenship. It also presents her response: she says the probe is part of a campaign by Trump to use the immigration system against his political opponents.

The clip drew about 120,000 views within eight hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short. That strong start comes while USA TODAY's overall daily viewing is slightly below its usual level, rather than amid a channel-wide surge.

The closing exchange moves from the rally to reporters outside the White House. There, Trump distances himself from the investigation, saying it is the Justice Department's decision: "I have nothing to do with it."
