Ilhan Omar Denies Marriage Allegations Amid Federal Investigation and Name Dispute
US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar denied allegations that she married her brother, calling the claims "insane" and attributing them to a Somali blog and conservative commentators. President Donald Trump called for her resignation, citing reports that her legal name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, different from the name she used in Congress. Omar's office rejected these claims as false. The controversy follows a federal search of her Washington home linked to an ongoing investigation into her immigration paperwork. Omar described herself as working class and plans to move from her searched residence.
