Rep. Ilhan Omar gave her blessing to her top congressional aide marrying a young underling – and even promoted the bride a month before the wedding, The Post has learned.
The lefty “Squad” member from Minnesota attended the Dec. 19 nuptials in the Virginia countryside, lending her seal of approval to the union between her longtime Chief of Staff Connor McNutt, 36, and legislative aide Tahreem Alam, 27. They both still work in Omar’s office.
The whole staff got invited, according to sources, and images reviewed by The Post indicate festive wedding ceremonies, including one where the bride and groom wore traditional south Asian garb.

She isn’t afraid of no cops. She’s got a U-Haul trailer stuffed with RACE Cards.
My thoughts are along the same line.

A 36 year old marrying a 20+ year old isn’t controversial or even interesting. People are way too obsessed with “age gaps” nowadays for some reason
Outfits certainly are spiffy!! 😂
Cha-ching.
Omar’s team said Alam isn’t supervised by her husband, and that the lawmaker makes all promotions in the office, and that the relationship and office policies had been disclosed to “relevant parties.”
“Yes, the Congresswoman gives the raises and promotions,” Omar’s office said when asked if the arrangement was in place when the promotion went through.
What irked the source most was the sequence of events. The bride, Alam, got promoted from staff assistant to her more substantial policy role in November 2025 – just a month before the wedding, the source said, although it was unclear if her fiancee had influence over the decision.
The relationship raises “serious questions” about potential “favoritism and misuse of resources,” according to the source, who said Omar failed to adequately address a “textbook power imbalance.”
Honestly I don't see what the controversy is.
Did Omar find that missing $30 million yet?
“A 36 year old marrying a 20+ year old isn’t controversial or even interesting”
Yep, my concern is that they are both mentally ill seeing who they voluntarily work for.
Chief of Staff oversees everyone
Agreed.
I agree. Pretty lame attack. There is plenty of legitimate material to use against Omar.
Agreed.
How nice. And convenient!
The 27-year-old bride looks about 70.
Why is Connor McNutt dressed like an Arab sheik?
True. Unless under the protection of The Ilhan. Christian ceremony? Or Islamic? Is he a Muslim now? All that is between them. Technically. But where Ilhan Omar is concerned… My Shenanigans Meter is pegging red.
Sheik Yerbouti?
Yes, I agree that this is a non-story. It is common for people to marry someone they met in the office, and we are not talking about a teenage girl but a woman of 27.
His last name kinda says it all.
