A watchdog group that filed a complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is demanding the House Ethics panel obtain her financial documents rather than sweeping a high-profile inquiry of her under the rug. The 11th hour push comes after a congressional panel voted to dismiss an investigation of Omar’s staggering gains in disclosed wealth that she blamed on an oversight. Paul Kamenar of the National Legal and Policy Center called it “stunning” that the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to recommend the House Ethics Committee dismiss a probe of Omar, after Omar’s office cited the “overwhelming” vote. “From day...

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says a federal investigation involving Rep. Ilhan Omar is active — and that investigators are looking beyond the long-running, disputed allegation about her marriage history. Mullin made the comments during an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson at the Republican midterm convention. Asked what would happen next, the DHS secretary answered: “Something’s going to happen. This is an ongoing investigation.” Here is the exchange: Mullin asserted that Omar married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom he described as her brother, to help him enter the United States. That allegation has circulated for years, but it has...

'We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat.

The federal government is refusing to turn over records related to an investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement into allegations of immigration fraud by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., citing a legal exemption for ongoing investigations. Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in January, seeking the records pertaining to any investigations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the allegations that Rep.

One of the largest fraud scandals in Minnesota may involve the family of Ilhan Omar. The far-left congresswoman’s sister used the address of a woman who was business partners with several major convicts in the “Feeding Our Future” scandal, a Daily Wire investigation found. The federal meals scandal is described as the largest public theft in Minnesota history. The statehouse’s House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee is probing the Somali-born congresswoman’s involvement in the scandal, but Democrats in May blocked a subpoena that would require Omar to produce records. Public records in the state, however, may tie Omar’s...

WASHINGTON — What’s in a name? “Squad” Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) mixed up two Jewish Democrats named “Josh” Tuesday while attempting to dunk on Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) after he warned about the rise of socialism in the party. “What about Dems who sign bombs and vote to drop them?” Lee chided Gottheimer after the Garden Stater blasted the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as “not Democrats” but “socialists, who want to hijack the Democratic Party” and declared “there’s no room for anti-American bomb-throwers who oppose our ideas, values, & leaders.” After Gottheimer told Lee she was thinking of “the...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) boasted that Minnesota liberals “defeated ICE’s racist terror campaign” in a cringey video trying to hop on a new TikTok-like trend — but the embattled lefty was swiftly roasted for her efforts. Plopped into a seat, “The Squad” member adjusted her blazer and fidgeted with a microphone as if she were about to be interviewed in the 10-second clip she shared Wednesday on Facebook. Omar, 43, took a deep breath as dramatic instrumental music played in the background. “Me preparing for the documentary on how we defeated ICE’s racist terror campaign in Minnesota,” she wrote...

Scandal-scarred Rep. Ilhan Omar and her hubby have gone from the penthouse to the poorhouse. The husband of the Minnesota “Squad” firebrand — who once valued his venture capital and wine empire at up to $30 million — now claims to be pocketing as little as $200 a year. The embattled socialist claimed hubby Tim Mynett made no income last year from his main business, Rose Lake Capital, according to her newly released 2025 financial disclosure report. The only money Mynett — who has nearly two decades of experience in DC — earned last year is a meager $200 to...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) chided Jerry Seinfeld for rejecting repeated demands that he say "Free Palestine" in the post-game celebration of the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship. Instead, he said "Palestine doesn't exist." "Anyone who won't support a free Palestine is a horrific human being," the Congresswoman asserted. "As a Jew, Seinfield should be especially sympathetic to others who are being subjected to the same kind of treatment the Jews endured during the Holocaust." Seinfeld defended himself, saying "the people that Ms. Omar is purporting to champion are not being sent to death camps for extermination by Nazis....

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, has criticized comedian Jerry Seinfeld after he told a streamer that "Palestine doesn't exist" as he walked out of an NBA Finals game after he was repeatedly asked to say "Free Palestine." While being interviewed by TMZ on Capitol Hill, Omar called Seinfeld's comment "disgusting," "disturbing," and "genocidal language," and argued that the remark is intended to erase Palestinian existence. "Jerry Seinfeld has been a really horrific human being and an example when it comes to talking about the reality of the genocide that Israel has carried out," Omar told TMZ. "And I think when people...

The African immigrant on the left has founded seven companies, directly and indirectly created 800,000 good paying jobs, created thousands of new American millionaires, developed reusable orbital rockets and brain chips that are giving independence to paraplegics, saved free speech, and can’t stop talking about how much he loves America. The African immigrant on the right married her brother to commit immigration fraud, facilitated the theft of money intended to feed hungry kids, has used government to enrich herself, praises terrorists, and can’t stop talking about how much she hates America. Leftists want the African immigrant on the left punished...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) could be “in a lot of trouble” for allegedly steering taxpayer money toward “fraudulent schemes,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in the latest episode of “Pod Force One.” The Kentucky Republican lauded the Trump administration’s latest efforts “to prosecute people in Minnesota” for alleged fraud and making an example out of “that Somali crime ring up there,” before suggesting Omar could eventually be a target of the crackdown. “I do think Ilhan Omar is in a lot of trouble,” Comer told “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine. “You got a situation there where...

Rep. Ilhan Omar has officially filed for reelection, announcing her decision in a brief post on X on May 30. “Filed for reelection. Excited to continue representing the incredible people of Minnesota’s Fifth District,” Omar wrote. However, the post quickly drew attention for another reason. Comments were disabled, preventing public responses on the platform. The move comes as Omar continues to face criticism from some conservative commentators and political opponents over allegations linking her to individuals connected to Minnesota’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, one of the largest pandemic-related fraud cases in U.S. history. This week, the case returned...

A whistleblower who says she was demoted after exposing Minnesota’s $250 million COVID fraud wants Rep. Ilhan Omar forced to testify, she said this week, as The Post obtained an audio clip of one of the fraudsters crediting the embattled pol with the explosion in popularity of the feeding program, later revealed to be a massive scheme. Faye Bernstein, a Minnesota Department of Health Services employee, was one of the first whistleblowers of the rampant fraud, raising the alarm to higher-ups as early as 2019. “It’s hard to believe that when she was doing appearances from a restaurant we now...

This week, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) denied allegations that she knew about the fraud for which Aimee Bock was sentenced to 41 years in federal prison. "I know she says I knew about the scheme to steal millions of dollars in federal funds meant to feed hungry children," Omar said, "but how credible are her claims? The sentencing judge called Bock a dishonest criminal mastermind who has done profound and lasting damage to the community and state, that her conduct was not an impulsive one-time error; it was sustained, organized, and aggressively pursued." "Now, Bock is a convicted felon," Omar...

A Minnesota man accused of orchestrating a multimillion-dollar healthcare fraud scheme has been arrested after briefly evading federal agents, FBI Director Kash Patel said, becoming one of the most high-profile defendants in a sweeping Department of Justice (DOJ) fraud crackdown across the state. Muhammad Abdulqadir Omar, 32, was arrested on Thursday after, authorities said, he initially fled law enforcement by jumping from a fourth-floor balcony as agents moved to detain him earlier in the day. The arrest was made amid a broader federal operation targeting what officials described as tens of millions of dollars in fraudulent activity tied to multiple...

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) unveiled legislation Wednesday aiming to ban foreign-born US citizens from serving in Congress and other high levels of the federal government. The South Carolina congresswoman singled out Reps.
