Federal sources have revealed to Fox News that “Ilhan Omar” is a fake name used by the Somali Minnesota Congresswoman currently embattled in a federal fraud investigation.
Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, the name of her brother-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, two sources familiar with the ongoing investigation confirmed to Fox.
A former Minnesota federal immigration judge also told the outlet that if it is proven that she lived her “entire life under an alias,” every document she’s ever filled out with the fake name could be “called into question.”
The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday that the Department of Justice revealed in a recent court filing that Omar is identified in the search warrant used to raid her home as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” the name of her brother-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
The DC US Attorney’s Office further revealed that their extensive search warrant has not yet been fully executed.
Omar has never publicly said that she does not have a birth certificate and has claimed that it was lost or destroyed during unrest in Somalia. It has been speculated that she had been lying about her age all her life in the United States and used a fake birth date to obtain citizenship, but it appears that’s not all she lied about.
The revelation comes as the feds have obtained “Omar’s” DNA, which could be used to prove that she is living under a false identity and that she married her brother.
Her real identity appears to link her to her former husband through a shared birth name.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Omar sat for her first interview since the raid on her Washington, DC, home last Monday, with MS Now’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday.
During the interview, she was also asked whether her ex-husband was her biological brother, and she gave an insane response, saying, “not to my knowledge.”
Instead of just saying no, she said she isn’t sure. Perhaps we now know why.
