The questions just keep coming for Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.The Democratic lawmaker has been under a searing microscope of late — though not enough of a microscope to offset her winning a 5th term in the 2026 midterms — as she has been the subject of a federal investigation.Renewed questions surrounding her immigration filings, her marital status, and even her actual name have all been raised following an October raid of Omar’s Washington, D.C., home.The scope of this case even appears to have now ensnared those very loosely in her orbit.According to The New York Times, a former Somali bodyguard of Omar’s was indicted before being deported, but it’s the ex-bodyguard’s potential connections to Omar that are raising eyebrows.Federal prosecutors filed a felony charge earlier this year against Abdullahi Mohamed, who had briefly served as Omar’s bodyguard during a recent trip to Somalia.At the root of the issue was Mohamed — who has Somali and British citizenship — lying about whether he had ever worked on behalf of the Somali government, and whether he ever had “interactions with any government officials or politicians in the United States.”Mohamed answered “no” to both questions, despite having previously worked with Omar.(Mohamed’s legal representation claims that these false responses came about because of a poor command of the English language.)However, Mohamed’s previous relationship to Omar also made him a premium source of information — something which The New York Times claims that federal officials tried to utilize.The outlet reported, “The investigators asked Mr. Mohamed about Ms. Omar’s immigration journey from Somalia and her marital history, which includes a 2009 marriage that became the source of rumors about possible immigration fraud.”Authorities also reportedly asked Mohamed about an alleged $10,000 payment from Omar to Mohamed’s brother.Mohamed’s lawyer, Bruce Rivers, made clear to The New York Times that while his client sought to be helpful, he had no actual incriminating information to share.“They asked him if he knew who she was married to and that kind of stuff,” Rivers told the outlet. “He didn’t know any information about that stuff.”While Omar has largely dismissed reports of her alleged wrongdoing, Fox News reported that the freshly re-elected Omar was spotted meeting with high-powered D.C. lawyers.The two lawyers spotted in Omar’s office have previously represented numerous Democratic elected officials in a number of cases against the administration of President Donald Trump.Mohamed has since been deported and currently resides in Kenya, though he does claim to have his side of this story to tell.Earlier charges on Mohamed were dropped, however.“There is no longer a federal interest in continuing prosecution in light of his anticipated removal from the United States,” the Department of Justice said in a filing.This article appeared originally on The Western Journal.The post DOJ Indicts Ilhan Omar’s Former Bodyguard, Drops Charges Due to Deportation appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
