U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar says federal authorities haven't briefed her on the investigation that led agents to search her Washington, D.C., home, though she said little else when reporters approached her Friday morning after she voted early in Minneapolis.

When asked by reporters what they had shared, Omar briefly answered that "they haven't told us anything" before she was whisked into a car outside the polling place in Minneapolis. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, is seeking a fifth term in Congress, and the final weeks before the midterm election have been unlike any other for her campaign.

Agents with the Department of Homeland Security executed a search warrant at her home Oct. 12. Details of the warrant are not public, and media organizations are asking a court to unseal it.
