The Minnesota Democrat told MS NOW's Chris Hayes that the recent federal raid on her Washington home was simply an attempt to excite Republican voters and frighten her supporters.
She rejected the claim that her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was arranged to game the immigration system, and she denied that the two of them are related. Asked directly whether any family connection existed, she said, "Not to my knowledge."
This was her first media appearance since Homeland Security Investigations agents searched the residence on October 12 under a warrant signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew J. Sharbaugh. Her office has ignored repeated requests for comment from Fox News Digital. The Justice Department has released no public description of the allegations, which center on possible false statements in her immigration and naturalization paperwork.
"It all started with the Somali blog," Omar told Hayes. "Somebody put it there, that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect."
She has labeled the entire probe political. After the search she released a video filmed from the back seat of a car in which she urged donors to keep the contributions coming. Federal authorities have served more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to members of her family, and seized her cellphone, according to the Associated Press. Fox News Digital reported that her sister, Sahra Noor, spoke with investigators last week.
A separate inquiry, opened in 2024 under the Biden administration, is examining her campaign finances and personal financial disclosures. A complaint about the gap between her reported income and assets was dismissed by House ethics officials but is now under review by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro.

Both investigations continue.
