Federal investigators examined whether Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., entered a fraudulent marriage with a man alleged to be her brother during a 2016 investigation, but the case was not pursued because prosecutors believed the statute of limitations had expired, the New York Post reported Thursday. The investigation examined Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security investigated whether the marriage was arranged to help Elmi obtain U.S. immigration status. The specific evidence investigators uncovered has not been made public.
