Investigators are reviewing marriage and immigration records after finding evidence that the 2009 union may have been fraudulent, officials said.
- A report by The New York Times revealed that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security under President Barack Obama uncovered evidence in 2016 suggesting Rep. Ilhan Omar may have engaged in marriage fraud.

- Omar has repeatedly denied all allegations of marriage fraud and wrongdoing, dismissing past scrutiny into her marital history as politically motivated attacks.
- The revelation of the Obama-era federal inquiry emerges amidst renewed scrutiny and ongoing federal reviews into historic immigration and tax filing records concerning the Minnesota congresswoman.
