The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing claims Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother, The Post has learned.

Two FBI agents held an hours-long meeting in Minnesota in mid-October with a concerned party who handed over a trove of documents regarding Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a source with knowledge of the event said.

At the meeting, first reported by website The Blaze, the agents discussed concerns the Somali-born Democrat married Elmi, a British citizen rumored to be her brother, so he could obtain a green card and study in America, the source said.

The two agents said they would share the information with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the US Department of Education, but did not commit to opening an investigation into the firebrand lawmaker, the source said.

If Omar did marry her brother, she could be found guilty of committing marriage fraud — a felony offense punishable with a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000.

I'm sure to make these awful claims go away, they will both happily submit DNA samples.

Let me guess...

"We've found a few potentially bothersome things, but no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges."

"We've initiated some actions to assure this kind of thing won't happen again."

As a resident expert on sibling relations, I can indeed confirm Illhan fricked her brother.

While I generally agree with this, the fact it is out that they are looking at it is encouraging.

Of course if this was a GOP member they would have been imprisoned a couple years ago.

Pretty sure they already know she married her brother. And broke the law. Arrest the women. They would me.

Seems like they'll have to study the possible statute of limitations aspect. It's either 5, 7 or 10, can't recall (looked it up not too far back), but there are other considerations. Potential suspensions of the running of time, and "ongoing criminal enterprise" which could either technically still be going on or perhaps it was ongoing until a certain point past 2009. Trick will be to figure out a secific timeframe.

This could be solved so easily. Take a DNA test from both.

This can't be true, she's not from Alabama.

Impeachment! You cannot investigate a political opponent (unless they are republican).
