From Fox News: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called those concerned about whether she married her brother “sick” after the far-left lawmaker was approached by Fox News Digital about border czar Tom Homan, signaling that federal officials have started digging into records pertaining to the matter.
Homan said last week that records and files related to Omar’s potential immigration fraud were being pulled and looked at after President Donald Trump revived the years-old scandal amid an ongoing debate over the Somali Medicaid fraud scandal taking place in Omar’s state of Minnesota.
While Homan suggested that fraud likely took place, he also signaled that the crime’s statute of limitations could present a problem when it comes to prosecuting Omar for any potential violations.
Fox News journalist Nicholas Ballasy caught up with Omar as she was headed for an elevator, and asked for her response to Homan’s investigation of her.
“I have no response because I don’t know what they’ll be investigating,” she snapped.
“So you don’t think they would find anything?” Ballasy asked.
“Absolutely not,” she retorted.
“Why do you think they keep bringing this up?” he prodded.
“Because they’re SICK!” she yelled, escaping into the elevator.

As evidence continues to mount, Omar hasn’t specifically denied that she married her own brother, but instead, always fires back to condemn anyone who dares to speak of the scandal.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Omar responded to comments by President Donald Trump that she may have married her brother by saying, “They’re vile and it is, I believe, a really unhealthy and creepy obsession that he has with me. Everybody knows I came to the United States at the age of 12 on a refugee status and became a citizen when I was 17 and obviously I’m a duly elected member of Congress and so my status is not in question in any kind of way.”
Omar continued to duck and dodge, but never actually denied the story. The Guardian wrote:
She draws comparisons with other conspiracy theories from the rightwing fever swamps. “This was a story that was put in a blog that shouldn’t have had any normal-thinking person looking into it,” Omar said. “But there is, I believe, this sort of severe desire on the right to find extreme ways to other people that they don’t think should be humanised.
“They’ve always had these fascinating accusations of trying to prove a negative so that this story continues to exist. We had the ‘birther’ story when [Barack] Obama was clearly born here and even when birth certificates were made available. There’s the Hillary Clinton keeping babies at a basement in a facility that doesn’t even have a basement. This is their way of trying to make me sound like something I’m not.”
