Trump mocked Rep. Ilhan Omar at a rally today, questioning her legal name and reviving longstanding allegations about her past marriage.
Trump claimed Omar's legal name is "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," not the name she used when elected to Congress. He suggested this connects to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom Trump alleges she married to facilitate immigration.
The brother-marriage claim has circulated for years but remains unproven. Omar has repeatedly denied it, calling it a conspiracy theory. No credible evidence has substantiated the allegation.
Trump's comments drew cheers from the rally crowd as he framed the issue as a "shock" revelation.
