BREAKING: What Fox News et al won't tell you about Ilhan Omar

Fox News will not even touch this story--at least not yet. Even the conservative media has not reported on it and you can certainly forget about the mainstream media bringing it to light. But there is a report that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was recruited by Qatar and was receiving funding from them.

It is alleged that she passed sensitive information to Qatar which through intermediates passed it along to Iran, according to sworn testimony in a Florida court.

The sworn testimony came from a Kuwati-born Canadian businessman Alan Bender, who was giving evidence in the trial of Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani.

Thani is the Qatari emir's brother and he is accused of ordering his American bodyguard to kill two people, and of holding an American citizen hostage. His deposition, obtained by Al Arabiya English, was authenticated by the attorney for the plaintiffs, according to Al Arabiya.

Bender spoke from Toronto by video link and told the Florida District Court that he met with Qatar’s Secretary to the Emir for Security Affairs Mohammad bin Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Masnad and two other senior Qatari officials.

According to his sworn deposition, these officials told him: “If it wasn't for our cash, Ilhan Omar would be just another black Somali refugee in America collecting welfare and serving tables on weekends."

The Bender deposition alleged that the officials asked him to recruit American politicians and journalists as Qatari assets. He objected and was told that several important figures were already on the Qatari payroll. Rep. Omar was described as the "jewel in the crown," Bender said and added that Qatar "recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official. […] They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest. They convinced her,” he added.

The deposition also states that during the 2017 meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ilhan Omar swore allegiance to him! This came at the time Omar was a junior state representative in Minnesota.

Omar was also alleged to have passed information to Qatar which was then passed along to Iran. She was also actively involved in recruiting other American politicians to likewise work for Qatar, Bender testified.

“The best thing money can buy are American officials because they are the cheapest of the cheapest costing officials in the world,” the Qatari officials were said to have told him.

Omar is already in trouble after she was found by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board to have broken campaign finance rules, by improperly using campaign money for out-of-state travel while a state representative.

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, called on the House Ethics Committee to investigate Omar for alleged offenses, including immigration fraud [in which she is alleged to have married her brother to gain him immigration status].

But there is even more to these claims, all of which Omar denies, of course.

Omar was one of 107 House Democrats who co-signed a letter Thursday, calling on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to reverse his announcement on the legality of West Bank settlements. The signatories claimed such a move "severely damaged prospects for peace" in the region, as the so-called "Palestinians" pretend to be the arbiters of peace.

Will anything be done about Omar and her far-left, anti-Zionist [aka anti-Semitic] colleagues? Will Fox News and conservative media grow a pair and report this story?

We shall see.
