Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., refused to respond to a request from a Minnesota committee seeking more information on her ties to the massive fraud scandal in the state, prompting a failed subpoena vote on Tuesday, but the committee’s chair says more options exist.
The subpoena, which required a two-thirds committee vote in favor to pass, only got five out of the six votes needed despite the committee's Republican majority.
"We have reached out to Representative Ilhan Omar on multiple occasions, inviting her to testify and inviting and requesting documents," State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, said ahead of the vote. "We have endeavored in multiple ways to get access to [information] because, as everyone knows, Representative Omar had had some role, whether inadvertent or not. She passed the MEALS Act in March of 2020, and that took the guardrails off the federal school nutrition program, which created the conditions for [fraud]."
"I do think the subpoena is important. This is one of dozens, if not hundreds of things we are investigating. We have had hundreds of whistleblower reports. They continue to come in weekly," Robbins added, noting she will continue to try to reach out to Omar's office to get cooperation. "Even though the committee will no longer have official hearings we will continue to investigate these whistleblower reports and webs of fraud."
Fox News Digital touched base with Robbins on Tuesday about possible next steps.
"They're fading," Robbins said about the committee’s options after a failed subpoena vote. "But I'll certainly talk to our friends in Congress to see if they would be willing to issue a subpoena."

CHANGE THE “INVITE” TO SUBPOENA” & QUIT FOOLING AROUND.
They have enough to get her on immigration fraud. Just arrest her.
How could they NOT subpoena her????
So,..5 out 6 isn’t 2/3?
I’m confused.
Need six to have 2/3, they got five.
Well, meybe they teach this sort of question at the Quality Leering Center! I suppose that any answer is correct provided the government funding continues! ??
Requested? Invited?
“How could they NOT subpoena her????”
Perhaps they don’t have that power at the state level but they sure do on the fed level. Yet the feds do NOTHING.
Feckless Federal SOJ!
Hey, I thought Trump won, and appointed a republican AG?
I must have missed something 🤬
Feckless Federal DOJ!
Hey, I thought Trump won, and appointed a republican AG?
I must have missed something 🤬
Nothing will ever happen to her...not happening. She’s protected.
The only thing she’s missing is she’s not gay. She has the rest covered. Black, Female, Muslim ...
Since the Minnesota legislature is pretty evenly split between Dems and Republicans, the billions of Somali grifting has been spread liberally across both parties. 'The subpoena, which required a two-thirds committee vote in favor to pass, only got five out of the six votes needed despite the committee's Republican majority."
Her protective political shield should prove a bit more fragile when--and if-- the issue is addressed in the Federal Congress.
Although $9 billion can buy a far-ranging blanket of political protection--even in the revered Halls of Congress.
A thieving Somali accused in a major Minn Medicaid fraud case donated to Ilhan Omar’s campaign:
Somali Abdirashid Ismail Said, the lead defendant in a nearly $11 million racketeering and Medicaid fraud case .......(the largest ever prosecuted by the Minnesota AG’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit)...... donated $1,000 to Ilhan Omar during her 2016 run for the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Somali Said is currently a fugitive who reportedly fled the country in April 2026 just days before his trial was set to begin.
Additionally, several Somali individuals charged in a separate, massive Feeding Our Future pandemic food aid fraud scheme also donated to Omar’s campaigns:

You can track federal campaign contributions through the FEC Candidate Overview for Ilhan Omar.
According to allegations reported in early 2026, Rep. Ilhan Omar faced scrutiny for proposing a
$1 million taxpayer-funded Congressional earmark for a supposed “substance abuse clinic” that was reportedly located inside a “Somali restaurant.”
The place was operated by Somali individuals sharing a single residential address.
Critics alleged this was a fraudulent attempt to channel tax dollars to Somalis
already saddled with stealing tax dollars from multiple tax-funded programs.
GOP Senator Joni Ernst highlighted the case as a
suspicious “rehab clinic” in a Somali-owned restaurant.
Here’s another way they steal tax dollars.
Muslim Cong Ilhan Omar and husband, Tim Mynett, filed official govt documents attesting to assets valued between $6 million-$30 million – a 3,500% jump in net worth from 2023-2024.....inflated figures stemming from Mynett’s two businesses – a Santa Rosa, Ca-based winery and a venture capital firm headquartered in Washington, DC.
As Cletus D. Yokel brilliantly posted: “How many ‘Learing Centers’ did Mynett’s venture capital firms
pump start-up money to....... colluding w/ Omar that USAID tax dollars would pay him back.”
And how many USAID bills did Cong Omar vote for?
All Kayfabe. That Somali terrorist Tuesday is untouchable.
