U.S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro told Jesse Watters that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is actually named Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
WATTERS: Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Okay, Judge, Ilhan Omar, is that her real name?PIRRO: Her real name is Ilhan Nur Sayid Elmi. You had it absolutely right. Her sister is Sahra Nur Saeed Elmi, and her sister actually wrote a book and talked about the fact that Ilhan is her sister, so that is her name.WATTERS: And that name is almost identical to the name of the guy she married, is that what is tipping you off?PIRRO: Well, obviously, Jesse, I’m not going to tell you what’s tipping us off. But what I can tell you is this: there are a lot of questions that we have, and of course, you know if you have citizenship in this country, your derivative citizenship or your naturalization, your application will turn on precise information, and you have an obligation to report that precise information.So the question is, you know, who is Ilhan Omar, and has she followed all of the laws as it relates to naturalization and immigration? And of course, you know, my job as the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia is to go after all public corruption, and we do it whether we do it with police officers, or maybe are involved in some kind of fraud, or child sex trafficking, or a councilman who is alleged to take bribes in the amount of $156,000, or a military naval admiral who took bribery, or someone at the Federal Reserve who is selling secrets to China. These are all situations where we make sure that, irrespective of whether you’re a Democrat or you’re a Republican, we’re coming after you, if you lie and if you’re involved in public corruption.WATTERS: Just to confirm, Ilhan Omar is living and working in Congress under an alias?PIRRO: Well, you you know you’ll have to ask her what she considers her name. I mean that is something that you know she can definitely tell you. Okay. What we’re concerned about is whether or not she has followed the laws as it relates to the use of these names, and it’s kind of like in Romeo and Juliet. Remember the Capulets and the Montagues. It matters not who you are, but who you are not.
Omar has been a regular in the news since last week, when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents raided her home as part of a probe into her immigration paperwork.
Speculation over Omar’s name started when sources said her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
Then the dispute over the search warrant began.
The media asked the government to release the search warrant executed at Omar’s D.C. residence as part of a probe into her immigration paperwork.
Rumors have circulated for years that Omar’s ex-husband Ahmed Elmi is her brother and she married him for immigration purposes.
Pirro asked the court to keep the search warrant sealed because the government hasn’t finished executing it.
Pirro’s motion raised more eyebrows because she wrote “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi a/k/ Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”
After the motion, more sources told Fox News that Ilhan Omar isn’t her real name.
The New York Post published “all the clues” that Omar’s marriage to Elmi was a sham.
