Hano Omar of Minnesota has created a lot
0:02
of problems for the Democratic party
0:03
since she came to Washington in January.
0:06
Now reporters are finally taking a
0:07
closer look at allegations from several
0:10
years ago. Well publicized allegations
0:11
but widely ignored in the media that
0:14
Omar may have committed immigration
0:16
related marriage fraud. According to
0:18
Omar's telling she married her first
0:20
husband Akmed Hersy in 2002 but only in
0:23
a religious ceremony. She then separated
0:25
from him again only religiously and then
0:27
illegally married her second husband
0:29
Akmed Nured Elme. Omar says she
0:32
separated from Elme in 2011 and
0:35
reconciled with Hersy. But she only
0:37
legally divorced Elme in 2017. If you
0:40
can even keep up with that not easy.
0:42
According to the Washington Examiner
0:44
though, several documents indicate that
0:45
Omar and Hersy were still living
0:47
together for her entire marriage to
0:50
Elme. And that raises the question of
0:52
whether her marriage to Elme was in fact
0:55
a sham from the first day. Omar herself
0:59
could probably clear that up if she
1:00
wanted to, but so far her offices has
1:02
persistently refused to answer any
1:04
questions on the matter matter.
