Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born member of Congress representing a Somali immigrant-majority district in Minnesota, is caught up now in investigations of multiple scenarios that could involve massive fraud.
Federal authorities are looking into whether she “married” a brother years ago in order to get for him authorization papers to remain in the United States. There’s a possibility her entire family misled American authorities when they arrived as refugees. She’s also reported a stunning reversal of fortunes, with her net worth exploding from a few thousands to some $30 million in a year, then collapsing back to about $100,000 just as quickly.
And then there’s her involvement in the documented fraud in the Feeding Our Future program in Minnesota.
Multiple convictions already have been obtained in that $250 million fraud that essentially involved “providers” who claimed to be serving children food during the COVID era but didn’t. Then they billed for millions of dollars in federal taxpayer money for reimbursement anyway.
Court documents show there were multiple email conversations between Omar’s office and the leader of that scheme, now convicted.
The scheme took advantage of the MEALS Act, by Omar, which relaxed reporting requirements for those groups claiming reimbursements.
Her involved in Feeding Our Future now is under review by, among others, state lawmakers in Minnesota, to whom she refused to supply requested documents.
Now she’s made a statement on that issue, suggesting it’s President Trump’s fault.
Our whole world would be better if she wasn’t in it.
Exposing is the word she omitted!!! 😀
