President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Ilhan Omar after learning she was attacked with a syringe during a town hall, accusing the Minnesota congresswoman of staging the incident. 

"I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud," Trump told ABC News in a phone interview. "She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

Omar, a Somali-American and regular target of Trump, was sprayed with an unknown substance by a man at a town hall event in Minneapolis late on Jan. 27. The man rushed Omar and sprayed her torso with an unknown liquid as she called for ICE to be abolished and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be impeached. The man shouted something toward Omar, but it was unclear what was said.

“I haven't seen it," Trump said of video of the attack. "No, no. I hope I don't have to bother.”

Police identified the man who attacked Omar as 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak and brought him to the Hennepin County Jail on assault charges, according to Minneapolis Police Department spokesman Trevor Folke. No evidence has been presented to support Trump's claim that Omar had herself sprayed.
