<><> Omar misused campaign funds
<><> She filed a joint return before being legally married, while legally married to another man
<><> Her first marriage to Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi was without a certificate
<><> She then married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, but the two divorced in their faith tradition without taking legal action until 2017
Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board said Omar and her husband, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, filed joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015 - before they were actually married and while Omar was legally wed to another man. While some states allow for joint filing for "common law" marriages, Minnesota does not, and filing joint tax returns with someone who is not your legal spouse is against both federal and state law. The board's final report said "there was an issue with her tax returns that needed to be corrected" and that some campaign funds went to an accounting firm.
State officials ruled last week that Omar must repay her campaign committee nearly $3,500, including $1,500 for payments made to the accounting firm for services related to joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015. Omar must also pay a $500 penalty to the state.
She says she has come under political attack because she is a Muslim and woman of color. She has also been dogged by questions about her past. She says she came to the United States (at taxpayers' expense) as a refugee from war-torn Somalia. In 2016, as Omar was running for a seat in the Minnesota House, conservative bloggers alleged she was married to two men at the same time. Marriage records show that's not the case. Conservatives also alleged that one of those men, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was her brother - allegations that Omar called "disgusting lies."

Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
Countries are PEOPLE, not magic dirt.
Based on everything said....is it now possible that she never got a marriage license for marriage one or two, and this entry visa for 1st husband was approved without the US government asking for a copy of the license?
Once they reach Congress it seems Democrats are above the law. Anyone else would be facing serious charges. Justice is no longer blind, but politically biased.
Omar will claim she’s obeying Sharia law.
RE: Somali Rep Omar filed jointly BEFORE the marriage; she was legally married to another
Well, what to say? if our laws accept that marriage can be between a man and a man and a woman and a woman, why should our laws not accept different permutations of marriage?
Polygamy has been in existence for thousands of years, so, why not?
BTW, I am not defending what she did, I am simply saying that if she were to use this kind of argument, it would be hard to refute it given what we have done to the institution of marriage.
Tax fraud.
I thought they took care of this?
They gave her a $500 fine- that’ll teach her~!
Ilhan Jihad Omar must be accepting money from Mossad.
She is the worst (and most accurate) depiction of muzzies in America and is galvanizing public opinion against Islam.
May her ugly hijabi face and ugly statements continue to darken the public square.
Crooks and Democrats, same animal!
No matter Muslims be Above The Law.
“She is the worst (and most accurate) depiction of muzzies in America and is galvanizing public opinion against Islam.”
Naw. Just adding to the polarization. Libs love her, and those of us who are aware of the evil that is islam aren’t surprised.
Criminal charges?
Arrest?
No? Nothing?
Of course.
She. Black. Mohammedan. DemocRAT.

Sharia doesn’t allow for American law.
You would think the IRS would be after her...if it were anyone else they would be demanding payment for back taxes. However, she is untouchable. Same funny business she used to get into this country.
look at Canada who has a muzzle immigration minister.
In looking at Canada, you are witnessing the erosion of civilization and all things great made possible by its western European Christian culture and it’s replacement by the turd world.
May Canada thank that second generation marxist Trudeau for it’s dissolution.
Now America is surrounded by the turd world.
No one is above the law. (according to dems)
