According to a report from The New York Post, the FBI is reviewing claims Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
The Post article says that two FBI agents held a long meeting in Minnesota in mid-October or 2019 with a concerned party who handed over a trove of documents regarding Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a source with knowledge of the event said.
The FBI agents said they would share the information with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement but did not commit to opening an investigation into the firebrand lawmaker, the source said.
If the allegations are true, Omar could be found guilty of committing marriage fraud — a felony offense punishable with a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
The three government agencies said they would not confirm the existence of any ongoing or potential investigation.
