Ilhan Omar DNA questions ignite online firestorm — critics zero in on federal investigation

A five-year-old story is back in the news thanks to the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home, and it’s not looking good for Biden’s FBI.

Miranda Devine of The New York Post graced X users with a flashback to a piece she penned in 2021 titled “FBI dodged Ilhan Omar-‘bro’ wed probe.” She also noted that her source, Minnesota GOP operative Anton Lazarro, was arrested by the FBI just hours after making the claim that “DNA evidence that allegedly shows Rep. Ilhan Omar was once married to her brother.”

Look:

Devine accused Biden’s FBI of “protecting their own” rather than doing its own DNA test to put the rumor to rest once and for all.

Now that federal prosecutors have reportedly obtained Omar’s DNA as part of their ongoing investigation into alleged immigration fraud, the topic is facing renewed scrutiny. Especially from people who were dismissed as conspiracy theorists when trying to discuss the issue previously.

From the opinion piece:

The test results stated there is a 99.999998 percent chance that Omar and her second husband, Ahmed Elmi, now her ex-husband, are siblings, according to an analysis by British company Endeavor DNA Laboratories. But before Lazarro could share the results with the media, he was arrested Thursday on underage sex-trafficking charges and jailed pending a court hearing Monday.

His website, IlhanOmarDNA.com, containing the DNA test results, was online briefly before it was taken down Wednesday.

Lazarro and a group of conservative donors had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on three continents hiring private investigators to track down Elmi Omar’s ex-husband in the UK and procure his DNA from a drinking straw. Omar’s DNA, Lazarro’s website claimed, was extracted from saliva on a cigarette butt she was photographed smoking.
