The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security investigated the fraudulent marriage of Muslim congresswoman of Somali descent, Ilhan Omar, in the summer of 2016, during the administration of Democrat Barack Obama, and found some evidence that it was fraudulent, according to current and former officials who spoke to the New York Times.
The case against Omar would have stalled mainly because prosecutors concluded that the alleged crime, a felony, was outside the five-year statute of limitations. But a source familiar with the investigation told the New York Post that Biden's federal prosecutor in Minnesota dismissed the case shortly after taking office in 2021.
Omar, a Democratic congresswoman representing Minnesota's fifth district in the U.S. Congress, is said to have married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, as part of a scheme to obtain U.S. citizenship for him. Federal authorities are investigating her for immigration fraud, and the outcome of the investigation could result in her deportation or imprisonment.
The far-left congresswoman denies being related to Elmi and claims it is a conspiracy theory by Trump and his allies to ruin her political career, despite the fact that speculation about her marriage has been circulating for over a decade.
