Below are traffic records, marriage certificate records, and divorce records that indicate Rep. Ilhan Omar lived with Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, her first and current husband, while claiming she was married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
Two dozen traffic violations and misdemeanor charges against Hirsi listed below show that his address between 2006-2012 was the same Cedar Riverside address where Omar claimed to be living, even when she said she was married to Elmi from 2009 to 2011.
A marriage application by Omar and Elmi show their address is the same address Hirsi used to register a business, months after Omar and Elmi were legally married.
Also below are divorce documents in which Omar swore under penalty of perjury that she had no means of contacting her second husband, claiming he was in London since the summer of 2011.
An eviction notice from July 2012 shows that Elmi potentially lived in Minnesota a year after Omar claimed he had moved back to London and swore she had no way of contacting him. Elmi paid rent at his Minnesota housing until June 2012, which was three miles away from Omar’s listed address.
The Washington Examiner asked Omar in person to comment on her marriage discrepancies, but she declined. Upon a second request by email, a representative for her office said “the congresswoman is not available for this.”
