    Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her
    second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm
    Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar
    said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United
    States

    It has long been rumored that Omar and Ahmed Elmi are siblings, but
    because of a lack of paperwork in war-torn Somalia, proof has never been uncovered

    Osman said: 'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to
    school. We all thought she was just getting papers to allow him to stay in
    this country'

    Omar was married to her second husband Elmi in 2009 by a Christian
    minister - although she is Muslim

    She was first married to Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony, before
    they split in 2008 - but she later had another child with Hirsi while
    legally wed to Elmi

    Osman said: 'When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were
    invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the
    community'

    He added: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it... No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the certificate years
    later'

    'Squad' congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who
    went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother,
    DailyMail.com can confirm.

    And now for the first time one of those friends has come forward to reveal exactly how Omar and Ahmed Elmi scandalized the Somali community in Minneapolis.

    Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar
    said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.

    But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him.

    'No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the
    marriage certificate years later,' Osman, 40, exclusively told
    DailyMail.com.

    Osman's revelations are sure to renew calls for an investigation into the Minnesota freshman representative who has repeatedly refused to answer questions on her marriage to Elmi.

    She originally said the idea that the spouses were also siblings were 'baseless, absurd rumors', accusing journalists of Islamophobia, but has
    since stayed quiet.

    Abdihakim Osman (left with Hirsi and right with Omar) is the first person
    to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother
    papers so he could stay in the United States. But hardly anyone realized
    that meant marrying him. 'No one knew there had been a wedding until the

    Her spokesman told DailyMail.com that Omar, 37, does not comment on her
    family or personal life.

    'The Congresswoman is focused on the work her constituents sent her to Washington to accomplish,' he said.

    Omar married her first husband Hirsi in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony that,
    like many in the immigrant community, was not registered with the state.

    Their first child Isra was born the following year and a second followed.

    But in the late 2000s Elmi appeared in Minneapolis, said Osman, who
    referred to Hirsi by his nickname 'Southside' throughout the interview.

    'People began noticing that Ilhan and Southside (Hirsi) were often with a
    very effeminate young guy,' Osman said, who spoke in Somali through an interpreter.

    'He was very feminine in the way he dressed — he would wear light lipstick
    and pink clothes and very, very, short shorts in the summer. People
    started whispering about him.

    '[Hirsi] and Ilhan both told me it was Ilhan's brother and he had been
    living in London but he was mixing with what were seen as bad influences
    that the family did not like.

    'So they sent him to Minneapolis as ''rehab''.'

    Osman, who runs a popular Facebook blog called Xerta Shekh, which comments
    on Somali issues, said that Omar kept her marriage to Elmi quiet, with no
    one from the Somali community invited to the wedding.

    He explained: 'When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community.

    'I would say there were 100-150 people there.'

    But, he said: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.'

    Osman said at the time Hirsi was better known than Omar among Somalis. 'He
    was a footballer, he promoted a lot of Somali shows, he was very popular.

    'So the scandal was about [Hirsi's] brother-in-law more than Ilhan's
    brother.'

    It has long been rumored that Omar and Elmi are brother and sister.

    But because of a lack of paperwork in war-torn Somalia where they were
    both born, positive proof of their relationship has never been uncovered.

    In the late 2000s Elmi (pictured) appeared in Minneapolis, said Osman.
    'People began noticing that Ilhan and [Hirsi] were often with a very
    effeminate young guy. He was very feminine in the way he dressed — he
    would wear light lipstick and pink clothes and very short shorts in the
    summer. People started whispering about him. [Hirsi] and Ilhan told me it
    was Ilhan's brother'

    invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community. I would say there were 100-150 people there.' But,
    he said: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.' Pictured:

    The leftist congresswoman, 37, spent months denying she had split from
    husband Ahmed Hirsi despite this website revealing she had left their
    marital home and was having an affair with a campaign aide. Omar finally
    filed for divorce from Hirsi (pictured together) on October 7

    The first report that Omar and her husband were siblings appeared on the website Somalispot in 2016. It said of Elmi, 34: 'As soon as Ilhan Omar
    married him he started university at her alma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012.

    'Shortly thereafter, he moved to Minneapolis where he was living in a
    public housing complex and was later evicted. He then returned to the
    United Kingdom.'

    The New York Post reported last month that the FBI was investigating the marriage and had met with a source in Minneapolis who handed over 'a trove
    of documents' related to the marriage.

    Any findings were to be shared with Immigration and Customs Enforcement
    and the US Department of Education, the paper reported. Anyone found
    guilty of committing marriage fraud faces up to five years in jail and a
    fine of up to $250,000.

    Elmi and Omar married on February 12, 2009 at a Hennepin County office in
    Eden Prairie, Minnesota, southwest of Minneapolis, their marriage license shows. Omar said she and Hirsi had separated in 2008, and because their faith-based union was never recognized by law, neither is their
    separation.

    Elmi and Omar said they lived together at an address in Columbia Heights,
    a suburb on the north side of the city.

    The marriage was conducted by Christian minister Wilecia Harris. When DailyMail.com approached her last year, she would not discuss the ceremony
    or why a Muslim couple would have asked her to marry them.

    She and her husband Marcus run the Great and Mighty Works Ministries in Richfield, Minnesota, which is described on its Facebook page as a 'nondenominational, Bible believing, Bible teaching, and Bible living
    ministry that believes in being a living example of Jesus the anointed
    one!'

    Osman believes Elmi (pictured with a friend) and Omar sought out someone outside the Somali community to conduct the ceremony because an imam would
    have known they were related and would have refused to marry them

    Pastor Wilecia Harris (pictured with her husband Marcus Harris) officiated
    at the 2009 ceremony of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's marriage to Elmi. The pastor's husband has made it clear his wife is not willing to help shed
    any light on the matter

    In a Facebook message, Marcus Harris told DailyMail.com: 'My wife doesn't
    want to be involved or interviewed about Congresswoman Omar.'

    'It's not going to happen, not now and not never.'

    After their marriage Omar and Elmi moved to Fargo, where they both
    attended North Dakota State. But Omar and Hirsi were still together as
    husband and wife, Osman said.

    'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country.

    'Once she had the papers they could apply for student loans.

    'They both moved to North Dakota to go to school but she was still married
    to [Hirsi]. In the Somali way, the only marriage that mattered was the one
    in the mosque.

    'Ilhan came back to Minneapolis all the time to see her family, but her
    brother didn't come with her.'

    Osman believes Elmi and Omar sought out someone outside the Somali
    community to conduct the ceremony because an imam would have known they
    were related and would have refused to marry them.

    Osman, who is confined to a wheelchair after contracting polio before he
    moved to the United States in 2004, said he got to know Hirsi well in his
    first few years in Minneapolis. They are the same age, both having been
    born in January 1980.

    They originally met when Hirsi was working in a barber shop and when they
    both regularly ate at the now-defunct Indian Ocean restaurant. When Hirsi opened his own business, Urban Hookah, which is also now closed, Osman occasionally helped out at the till.

    After their marriage Omar and Elmi moved to Fargo, where they both
    attended North Dakota State. But Omar and Hirsi were still together as
    husband and wife, Osman said. 'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers
    together to allow him to stay in this country.' Pictured: Elmi in photos

    DailyMail.com then revealed that Omar was having an affair with her chief fundraiser Tim Mynett, a married father-of-one, whose company received
    more than half a million dollars from her campaign last year. The two are pictured together on May 26 at a Council on American-Islamic Relations
    (CAIR) event - a month after he told his wife he was leaving her

    https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/02/17/20/23068930-8013283- Hirsi_and_Omar_divorced_in_November_He_married_pediatric_nurse_L-m- 83_1581970580541.jpg

    Hirsi and Omar divorced in November. Hirsi married pediatric nurse Ladan
    Ahmed 37 days later (pictured together on a trip to Mecca)

    Omar and Elmi eventually divorced in 2017 and she remarried Hirsi — with
    whom she had a third child — in a civil ceremony the following year, just
    in time for her election to Congress.

    Osman scoffs at the idea that this was a real remarriage. 'They never
    parted,' he said.

    But last year she moved out of the family home and into a luxury penthouse apartment in the trendy Mill District of Minneapolis.

    DailyMail.com then revealed that Omar was having an affair with her chief fundraiser Tim Mynett, a married father-of-one, whose company received
    more than half a million dollars from her campaign last year.

    Hirsi and Omar divorced in November. He married pediatric nurse Ladan
    Ahmed 37 days later.

    Mynett and his wife Beth Jordan divorced in December. During the hearing
    in a Washington, D.C., courtroom, Jordan attempted to read out a statement about her husband's affair with the congresswoman but was cut short by the judge.

    Omar is running for a second term in Congress — where she has aligned
    herself with fellow leftist first-term congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-
    Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts in the so-called 'Squad.'

    She faces three opponents in the Democratic primary to be held in August.

    forward to America being great again.

    The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
    eradicated.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
    fiasco, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
