Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has allegedly been uncooperative with her hometown paper’s efforts to get to the bottom of accusations that she committed marriage fraud, the paper’s political editor said.

Omar’s brief congressional career has been dogged by accusations — which she has denied — that she married a male relative, possibly her brother. Omar and her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, filed joint tax returns while Omar was married to another man, Ahmed Elmi, Minnesota campaign finance officials said.
Omar and her family have made it difficult for journalists to find out the truth about her marriage, Minnesota Star-Tribune editor Kevin Diaz told PolitiFact in an interview Thursday.
“Our public records searches determined that in at least one period after she married Elmi, all three (Omar, Elmi and Hirsi) used the same address in Minnesota. It raises questions about the nature of the relationship if she is living with both the person she’s married to and her eventual husband,” Diaz said.

“What’s really made it hard is that she’s been unwilling to address any of these questions. That has fueled the controversy. We quoted her at length to say that these were mere accusations, that they were unfair, and that she shouldn’t have to address them. Be that as may, there was an undisputed instance of her filing her taxes improperly. And if you’re in Congress, you should explain that to your constituents,” he continued.
“We’ve asked her these questions, and also asked her to make her father available. We’ve tried to reach Elmi. We’ve tried to reach her sisters. Her family could put this (the question of Elmi’s relationship to Omar) to rest easily. No one will talk to us. I wish we could send a reporter to Mogadishu (Somalia) but we don’t have the bandwidth,” the editor added.
Omar’s office didn’t immediately return the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment on Diaz’s remarks.
President Donald Trump gave fuel to the allegations surrounding Omar’s marriage in comments to reporters Wednesday.
“There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it,” Trump said. “I don’t know, but I’m sure that somebody would be looking at that.”

She is likely waiting, hoping, praying that the arm of the “party” will come to her rescue, whitewashing official public records, …..making the facts “fit” the narrative they are trying to spin……actual facts be damned.
Another MUSLIM that has infiltrated our government. Why aren’t her marriage documents available? Aren’t marriage license recordings PUBLIC RECORDS? Something wrong with this picture.
Put her in prison for fraud, are you afraid of her? Or are you afraid of her Allah? Why is she still walking free. If it was an American you would have had them in prison. Are you afraid she will sic her Allah on you?
WELL, THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE A MEMBER OF ‘THE FRAUD SQUAD’
I say she is guilty Because if it were me an it wasn;t true, i would try my hardest to talk to the press and clear my name She’s ignoring those allegations So she is guilty
When she was questioned about immigration fraud a while back when they were looking for her brother, she said she didn’t know where is was. But now it is on paper that he lives (lived) at the same address—-that was before she moved into that veeeeeeery expensive Penthouse in an upscale part of town.
I guess like her “brother” Barry she wants to have all of her records sealed too
She is in a community that is mostly Muslim, that is how they are going to take over America. It will take them a few years, but they already started with Obama.
Something smells rotten in Minnesota.
Wake TFU America, how long do you intend to allow this to happen in our Federal Govt?? Too many of that tribe in Govt already. . . we will be taken down from within.
She’s illegal & should be arrested or deported- revoke illegal citizenship & any perks ASAP!
Everyone knows many Trump supporters are married to their sisters and brothers, it’s part of the culture. Many were born from sister-mothers and have genetic deficiencies. Many other’s have Trump blow-up dolls as lovers ($199 from Trump’s website MakeLoveToDonald.com). Which are you?
Why the hell is she still in the government, should be thrown out of the country permanently.
I believe her father and her family committed immigration fraud when they first entered our country posing as members of another family
Investigate and If found guilty of fraud lock her up, after her sentence is completed throw her behind out of our country, as an example to others.
SEND HER BACK. This is so funny all the democrats want answers from Trump so why don’t they want answers from Omar? Oh I know because she is a DEMOGOD. She is above any law according to the DNC. She should be brought before a the Senate and be questioned. Maybe we can get Mueller to reinstate himself and have a investigation into her alleged crimes. Well we know that will never happen. The Democrats preach about being in compliance with the law, but they don’t follow their own preaching…huh go figure. Well we all know it is all about Trump and nobody else. Omar is most likely breaking the law and should be held accountable for her alleged crimes. We the people of the United States of America can actually demand that from our government since we are their bosses and they are not ours. These people who commit crimes in office whether they are Democrats or Republicans should be held accountable. Over the years both Congress and the Senate have committed crimes and all they got was a slap on the wrist and told to never do that again. If we commit crimes we either get put on probation or get a fine or go to jail or even all three depending on the crime, so why don’t they. Our way of life with these politicians needs to be changed and they need to be held accountable whether in office or not. I don’t know if Trump is 100% innocent in what they say about him only he and his family know whether or not he is, but I believe he is the best thing to come along for us in a long time.
And there will be people who vote for her just because they hate Christians and Americans. They want to live in a society where women are second class citizens, to be used and thrown away at will.
Poke her with a fork, she’s done. lol
Omar can’t be trusted, she is a liar.
just more inbreeding…
Immigration fraud, federal tax fraud, state licencing fraud, perjury et al , this thing is an enemy of the state in the midst of our own government. Who is behind giving her such a microphone and protecting her from a Guantanamo incarceration is the bigger question.

Of all the corrupt criminal fraud things we already know about Omar, the America Hater, should already be arrested and put on trial, deported, and never allowed back into OUR COUNTRY, the one she and the other 3 SQUAD TEAM, have made it publically known by their big, loud, foul mouthed lies should all get the same actions. GO GET UM’ PRESIDENT TRUMP AND INVESTIGATORS.
she’s being groomed by the dem socialists just like obama was!!
Omar has been a featured speaker where money is raisers to support Hummas and other similar organizations. I thought aiding and abetting the enemy is a basis for treason? There is video of her joyous after 9/11, she defends Al-shabab in Samalia, is a known anti-Semite and has proposed a bill to boycott Israeli businesses. She is not fit to be a representative of this country.
they will never find the truth, because islamics are taught to lie to kafirs from the minute they first speak. as to marrying a brother, why not, fathers rape their own kids over there, and claim marriage, because they all have different last names.
Further investigation will produce nothing. Ask Hillary how that works.
Deport her back to somalia so she can remarry her brother and put mud in her hair,and a bone in her nose.
Deport that piece of filth,send her back to somalia and then she can become a pirate and service all on their little boats,even her brother…
She’s following the dictates of her “religion’s” “holy book”, and lying.
Gosh, the paper that protected her like the Ministry of Truth is upset NOW?
Wonder what “Fact Check” answers are to these questions?
She shouldn’t even be a member of the Congress. Trump should direct ICE to take care of her starting with a complete investigation, or have the FBI do the investigation.
Let ICE investigate her!
Blood in the water; the Sharks are circling
The appeal of socialism (She is after all indebted to Bernie Sanders and is a democratic socialist – an oxymoron.)is that one does not have to be moral, it assumes morality is a creation of evil , the Christian church and anti human. The attraction of being a Muslim n the USA is that it empowers her belief that she is more entitled to commit acts that serve only her own purposes. Such is the nature of a modern racist bigot supremacist. Color of skin only matters today to insist that brown skin should entitle you reparations for things you never suffered only one example. It s the notion that in socialist pro-Islamist world the rest of the world owes you. how dare you notice a criminal act committed by a brown skinned Muslim woman. ow dare you attack one of Sander’s disciples.
She’s not fit to be living in America; much less, a member of Congress. She, like so many dumborats, like to pretend America isn’t a Christian nation. This lie has led to anti-Christians & muslims infiltrating America & its gov’t & educ. institutions, who are teaching nonsense such as our founding fathers being muslims. America’s founding was a process & product of concepts, principles, & human commitment, all based on widespread acceptance of the ideals of republicanism, the belief that a virtuous people could better protect their liberties; then could the government of kings. Americans confidence in republicanism stemmed largely from their shared commitment to Christianity. All 13 states wrote their own constitutions; some new, while others made changes to their royal charters. The Declaration of Independence & Constitution was the end of a long process that began with letter writing between patriots of the colonies, & culminating in the document itself. Here’s the important part the dumborats leave out: Our founding fathers were statesmen—highly educated men of European lineage (Christians mainly from Britian) whose ancestors grew up under the restraints & whims of kings & nobility. They spent their lives creating our free nation for its citizens, knowing full well that our strength stems from our freedom & adherence to its laws. That such learned men embraced such a bigoted ideology that demands complete submission & conversion is total fiction.
The Justice Department should be investigating this woman from the day of her birth to today. She is one more living, moving, breathing liar and she has broken several laws, including immigration fraud. Get to the bottom of this and get her and her anti-Israel rhetoric out of this country.
If she married her brother so he could get into Ammerica and she married another too! Revoke her citizenship, her brother’s and all of her relatives! Get them out of America!
To lay it out simply for the DOJ, IRS, ICE and Keith X – Omar married her brother to get him citizenship. She filed false tax returns. She perjured her divorce document. Two federal crimes, two Minnesota crimes and probably Hennepin County crimes.
Apparently this woman has an ego as big as mount Rushmore. Did she really think she could break the laws entering our country and blatantly denigrate our allies, the president, and half the electorate and not be resisted. Now that her bad deeds have come front and center and even the left has to acknowledge her crimes perhaps we shall see the back of her as she is returned to her country of origin.
INVESTIGATE HER AND GET HER OUT !!!
I can`t wait to celebrate the day of her leaving, I can`t wait to celebrate the end of her liessssssssssss. J Edgar { *j* } Hoover would have had no problem deporting this sack for anarchy.
Just think what the lamestream media would be printing were she a Republican!!!
Did she not, once upon a time, admit to her bigamy and try to excuse/justify it by saying one marriage was religious and the other a civic commitment, or some such nonsense? Not just tax fraud in this but I suspect also immigration fraud, and if that is the case let me just say ‘SEND HER BACK!’
AOC is about as crooked as a $3 dollar bill and she has Nancy Pelosi scared to death of her. Time to pull the plug on AOC as she is a phony a fraud and she too pushes to much hate and vicious venom against our Country and our people. She is a liability to America holding down a seat in our Congress when she clearly supports socialism/ communism over our Republic..Why do we allow these clowns to infiltrate our government the way that they have been doing knowing full well that they are just going to muddy up the waters in our government and with it’s people? They are never going to offer up anything worthwhile for the county. Their goal is to be obstructionists and to destroy.
Come on now people this fraud, this woman from Somalia has bull dogged you members of Congress and the American people long enough. It is time to take appropriate action and impeach her from our Congress and look at possibly deporting her back to Somalia for her breaking our laws and for her outright hatred for America our culture and our freedoms governed by our Constitution. She is a true Muslim who practices from the Koran and has no business sitting in our Congress with privileges of government classified documents..Who knows what she is sharing with her Muslim comrades…She needs to be investigated thoroughly, watched continuously and impeached from Congress. Those who voted her into office should be investigated too. If they are Muslims and practice from the Koran then they have no business being in our Congress..This is America not a Muslim stop over..Since when is wanting your country and your people safe in their homes and their country being a racists? That phrase is just a cheap cop out to try and keep the pot boiling. The people are wise to those cheap accusations and will not accept it or give it any recognition..Put these renegades in our Congress in their place and impeach those that don’t belong there. They are a disgrace to our Country and to our people..
She and the JIHAD SQUAD are crooked- what about the finance problems with AOC?? Did that get brushed under the rug?
does she even know who the father of her kids are????I bet they call these men uncle daddy!!!
all of these obbbbababammmas are the same. They were not bornthey have a degree but never attended college. They pay taxex of which there is no record. and so on.
