Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is a member of the AOC plus three “Squad” and has been embroiled in numerous controversies regarding her anti-Semitism and staunch support for the BDS movement. Additionally, there have been questions about whether or not she has committed tax and/or immigration fraud.
The New York Post reported Sunday that the FBI is now investigating whether or not reports that she married her own brother are founded.

The Washington Examiner has more on Omar:
The Washington Examiner reports:
An investigation by the Washington Examiner last summer found dozens of documents that indicate discrepancies within the congresswoman’s marriage statements. Omar, 38, has said she married her first husband, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, in 2002 before they “decided to end our relationship in our faith tradition” in 2008.According to Omar, she then married her second husband, Elmi, before getting divorced in 2011 and reconciling the same year with Hirsi. The Washington Examiner found, based on legal documents, that there is no evidence that Hirsi and Omar ever separated between 2008 and 2011, and instead continued to live together during that time period. She did, however, file for divorce from Hirsi in October last year.Omar has declined to answer questions from the Washington Examiner on the matter, and her office said she would not be available to talk on the subject. Conviction for marriage fraud could result in a $250,000 fine, along with five years in prison.
