New documents revisit questions about Rep. Ilhan Omar's marriage history
|
[STARTRIBUNE] New investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar
 ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
and whether she once married a man ‐ possibly her own brother ‐ to skirt immigration laws.
"Bro-Fo"
Omar has denied the allegations.
No, no! Certainly not!
in the past, dismissing them as "baseless rumors" first raised in an online Somali politics forum and championed by conservative bloggers during her 2016 campaign for the Minnesota House. But she said little then or since about Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the former husband who swept into her life in 2009 before a 2011 separation.
The questions surfaced again this month in a state probe of campaign finance violations showing that Omar filed federal taxes in 2014 and 2015 with her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, while she was still legally married to but separated from Elmi.
Although she has legally corrected the discrepancy, she has declined to say anything about how or why it happened.
The new documents also detail the Omar campaign’s efforts to keep the story of her marriage to Elmi out of the press, arguing that detailed coverage would legitimize the accusations and invade her privacy.
