DUBAI
\nUS President Donald Trump has called for Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar\u2019s immediate resignation, claiming she used a fake name to enter Congress. A federal court filing submitted Wednesday by the office of US Attorney Jeanine Pirro referred to the congresswoman as \u201cIlhan Nur Said Elmi, a\/k\/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.\u201d
\nTrump seized on the allegation during campaign rally in Iowa, while discussing Omar and longstanding allegations surrounding her former marriage. The filing concerns efforts to keep materials sealed in relation to the federal search warrant for Omar\u2019s Washington, DC-area home.
\n\u201cIt was just revealed that Ilhan Omar\u2019s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it\u2019s an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the person they said she married and had children with.
\nWhen asked whether or not she married her brother, she said, \u201cNot to my knowledge,\u201d Trump posted on his TruthSocial account.
\n\u201cIn other words, she somehow didn\u2019t know? Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.
\nIlhan Nur Said Elmi, her real name, has openly admitted to FRAUD, and she will not be legally allowed to be a Member of this August Body from this point forth.\u201d
\nA federal investigation is looking into how Omar obtained US citizenship, and whether she, or her late father, misrepresented her age on immigration documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
