President Trump speaks to reporters with Evander Holyfield at Joint Base Andrews
President Trump on Wednesday said Ilhan Omar’s near-admission that she married her brother, suggesting she didn’t have knowledge of any blood relation, was “not a good answer.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Ilhan Omar, during an interview on MS Now on Wednesday, said “not to my knowledge” when asked if she was related to her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
She laughed awkwardly when Chris Hayes asked about claims that she had married her brother, then made the stunning admission.
WATCH:
This comes as the criminal fraud investigation is believed to be using Omar’s DNA to prove she married her own brother and committed immigration fraud.
Trump responded to Omar’s slip upon arriving in Washington, DC, after his rally in South Carolina on Wednesday night.
“Yeah, well, ‘not to my knowledge,’ that’s not a good answer,” he said.
“That’s an answer that a lot of us assume.”
Boxing legend Evander Holyfield, who joined the President in South Carolina, was seen laughing next to Trump.
The Department of Justice on Wednesday revealed in a court filing that the search warrant against Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar names her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar” and that the search warrants have not been fully executed or completed.
The revelation comes as the criminal fraud probe heats up and appears to be investigating various different crimes.
Fifteen news organizations asked a federal court last week to unseal the search warrant and other judicial records in the case against Ilhan Omar.
In a government motion filed on Wednesday, the DC US Attorney’s Office requests an extension to the deadline to respond to the news outlet’s requests “until after the subject search warrant has been fully executed,” indicating that there may be more items, records, and locations under warrant.
Officials believe that Omar may have lied on her papers, constituting fraudulent citizenship. Border Czar Tom Homan and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin have both suggested that she lied to obtain citizenship and could be deported.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, however, the investigation is not just focused on Omar’s immigration and whether she lied to obtain citizenship, according to US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
Pirro said in an interview last week that there are “several investigations going on,” suggesting that the civil or criminal immigration issues and other financial crimes may be involved, including Omar’s financial disclosures and $30 million net worth. Trump also simultaneously signaled that the probe is centered on Omar’s “money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer also recently sounded the alarm on Ilhan Omar’s husband’s shady “winery” business, which he says was “shut down because of fraud,” revealing that they were selling empty barrels of wine to investors.
In the new motion to keep the records relating to their investigation under seal, the DOJ writes, “Before the Court are three Applications to unseal ex parte materials and proceedings related to a federal search warrant for the personal residence in the District of Columbia of Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (the “Subject”). See Case Nos. 1:26-mc-00144 (14 press organizations), 1:26-mc-00145 (New York Times Company), 1:26-mc00147 (Judicial Watch, Inc.).”
Notably, “Nur Said Elmi” is the same name as her biological brother, whom she married in 2009.
Conservative attorney and Article III Project Senior Counsel Will Chamberlain suggested that the “DOJ believes she is present in the United States under a false identity”

Ilhan Omar broke her silence on the investigation in a social media video on Tuesday, begging for more donations to “fight Trump and his administration,” claiming the investigation is meant to “intimidate me and so many people right before the midterm elections.”
She laughably claimed that Trump is “running scared” and said that she will be “out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms, win the House, win the Senate, and hold this administration accountable.”
WATCH:
President Trump on Tuesday told reporters that he believes Ilhan Omar “might go to jail,” while slamming her culture and home country of Somalia as a “real sh*t house.”
Now, days after all of this craziness began, Slotkin is pushing conspiracy theories about Trump and the midterms, suggesting that he will come up with some national security issue that will interrupt the midterms or steal it from the Democrats. Is she alright?
Conspiracy theorist Elissa Slotkin claims Trump admin will ‘come up with national security incident’ to change election outcome
Former CIA analyst turned Sen. Elissa Slotkin is peddling conspiracy theories about the 2026 election, just days after outlining her desire to prosecute the 47th POTUS and his supporters.
During a conversation with the Michigan Black Business Alliance at Wayne State University’s Rosa Café on Tuesday, the state’s junior senator discussed how she believes the Trump administration is “trying to change the outcome of the November vote.”
“They’ve sued for Michigan’s voter rolls, they’ve tried to taint mail-in voting saying it’s bad, it’s not to be used,” she said. “They couldn’t do that, so they tried to change post office rules of who is allowed to use a mail-in vote,” she added.
“The thing I’m watching very closely as a national security person, cause it’s a standard tactic of authoritarians abroad, is like right in the last two weeks of the election, they somehow come up with a national security incident, something that only they can protect us from,” Slotkin said. “And they’ll need to send out federal law enforcement, ICE, the uniformed military, to a polling place,” she noted.
“So, I’m watching that very, very closely,” she said. “As a senator, I felt so strongly about this that I helped organize what’s called a TTX, a table-top exercise” used by the military to game out specific scenarios.

We now have confirmation that James Talarico is no different than the rest of the insane Democrats right now who want to completely destroy our institutions.
Remember when Democrats accused Trump of destroying our precious norms? That is actually what they want to do.
During a Q and A with a reporter for FOX News, Talarico said that he supports the idea of changing the U.S. Supreme Court, adding term limits, adding judges, and more. He said the court ‘needs to be overhauled.’
Another comment Talarico previously made was that there are six genders, which he addressed.
“I’ve missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it,” he said. “What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there’s a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities.”
“Obviously didn’t say it correctly. There are not six sexes. There are two, and I think the reason that politicians in that convention center across the street want to talk about six sexes is because they don’t want to talk about $6 diesel,” Talarico added.
Meanwhile, Talarico said the Supreme Court was “infected” with corruption, and that it “needs to be overhauled.”
If elected, Talarico said, “You’re going to expect that I will vote for overhaul to the Supreme Court. That will include binding codes of conduct for our justices. It’ll include term limits, and I am open to a discussion about expanding the number of justices.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar gave a weird response when asked if she married her brother in an interview on Wednesday, suggesting she’s unsure of the answer in an awkward, apparent attempt at sarcasm.
This comes as feds have obtained Omar’s DNA, which could be used to prove that she married her brother to commit immigration fraud. However, the probe appears to be focused on Ilhan Omar’s own fraudulent naturalization and other crimes involving her finances.
During an interview with MS Now’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday, her first since the raid on her Washington, DC, home last Monday, the two spoke about Omar’s marriage to her biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The claim was first reported by a Somali website called Somalispot.
“Who was this man that was your husband? When did they start saying that he was your brother? Why?” Hayes asked.
Omar appeared nervous while laughing and said, “It started with the Somali blog that I don’t know if it still exists, but somebody put him there that, you know, that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect, and right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it.”
She continued, “And they just kind of went and like found random people who were like, she introduced us, you know, ‘she introduced him to us and said he was her brother,’ which is, you know, insane. I mean, I don’t, I don’t know those people that they talk about.”
Hayes then asked, “You were not related to him at all? There’s not some weird kernel of truth?”
And Ilhan Omar awkwardly responded, “Not to my knowledge.”
WATCH:
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the criminal fraud investigation into Omar is still ongoing, and the Department of Justice revealed in a recent court filing that their extensive search warrant has not yet been fully executed.
The court filing also reveals that Omar is identified in the search warrant as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” the name of her brother-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
A far left protester was dragged by police from the Trump rally Wednesday in South Carolina after he got clocked by some MAGA supporter in the crowd.
The wild-eyed left was at it again on Wednesday night.
President Trump: “Get him out of here. Wow, thank you. That was great, man.”
Crowd Chants: “USA!… USA!… USA!… USA!…
President Trump: “Man, I love that. I watched that. Man, you know, I watched that. I saw that. That was incredible… Wow!… That was, that was unbelievable. Is everybody okay? Yes. Who’s the guy that threw that punch? Who threw that punch?… Man. Man. You know what you reminded me of? I saw it.”
“I’m looking right at that area. And this lunatic, this actually, I’m not supposed to talk about looks. He’s a very unattractive looking guy, actually.
(Crowd laughs)
You know, I’m not supposed to, once I turned political, I had to say looks don’t matter. I could see the most beautiful woman and I don’t notice it. But that guy was a really unattractive guy. But who’s the guy that threw the punch?”
“You are! You know? You reminded me of “Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield!”
“No, the guy, the guy stood up and he just let that little — and he got whacked. Man!”
President Trump points at the MAGA crowd after a “totally unattractive” protester was tossed from his South Carolina rally.
There will NEVER be another President Donald J. Trump! What a man!
It was a another packed house for Trump on Wednesday night in South Carolina!

Wisconsin Democrat JoCasta Zamarripa released a new anti-ICE ad. She wants all illegals to stay here. She is lawless and just admitted it to the world.
Wisconsin Democrat JoCasta Zamarripa released a new anti-ICE ad. She wants all illegals to stay here. She is lawless and just admitted it to the world.
Here are the words from her latest ad on Facebook:
I’m Jill Castro Samarripa, and I’m running to be your Secretary of State. Trump and his MAGA crazies are trying to cheat in our elections and take over our country, but we won’t let them. In Milwaukee, I passed some of the strongest anti-ICE regulations in the country because we need to keep our families safe and together. This November 3rd, vote for me and every Democrat on the ballot.
Vamos a votar!
(Let’s vote!)
She’s shooting for the illegal vote – Vamos a votar!
Here is her latest ad posted on her Facebook page.
Earlier, Zamarripa declared driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants her ‘top priority.‘
This was surprising since the secretary of state does not issue licenses, which come from the state Transportation Department.
A man doused a woman in gasoline and lit her face on fire in Sevierville, Tennessee, amid an hours-long standoff.
Mark Harden, 33, poured gasoline on a woman, shoved her onto a couch, grabbed a lighter, lit her face on fire, and tried to kill her at a home on Mutton Hollow Road last week.
The victim ran to a nearby sink and extinguished the fire.
The victim tried to run out of the home, but Harden dragged her back into the house and forced her to stay. The victim was finally able to escape when her mother arrived to the home.
She was taken to a local hospital and treated for second-degree burns.
Harden stole the victim’s vehicle and drove to a Smotkies Motel, where he barricaded himself for hours.
A SWAT team and K-9 located Harden hiding under a mattress and took him into custody.
Harden was charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping, and theft. He is being held in Sevier County jail on a $350,000 bond, WBIR reported.
It is unclear if the victim and Harden were known to each other prior to the violent assault.
The man involved in an hours-long standoff with the Sevierville Police Department tried to kill a woman by dousing her in gasoline and setting her on fire, according to court records obtained by WVLT News.
Records for 33-year-old Mark Harden say the woman told officers once they arrived Oct. 16 he had poured a can of gasoline on her, shoved her on a couch and grabbed a lighter. The woman also told police Harden was able to light her face on fire, which she put out by running sink water over herself, the records said.
Records also show the woman ran from the house it happened at, eventually getting help from those nearby. The woman was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center with first- and second-degree burns, records show.
Harden himself later hunkered down inside the Smokies Motel that day, prompting police to respond.

Democrat congressional candidate Brad Lander was detained by Israeli authorities in the West Bank on October 21, 2026 (Photo: Brad Lander/X)
Democratic congressional nominee Brad Lander, the far-left former New York City Comptroller and close ally of radical Mayor Zohran Mamdani, was detained again by Israeli authorities on Wednesday.
Lander, the Democratic nominee for New York’s 10th Congressional District, was detained on October 21 alongside dozens of international activists and rabbis while participating in an olive-harvesting mission with Palestinian farmers near the village of Nahalin, south of Bethlehem, NY Times reported.
The former New York City comptroller, who previously made headlines after being detained by federal immigration agents during a confrontation at a Manhattan immigration courthouse, was released several hours later with a warning.
Lander posted a selfie from a bus filled with others, writing: “I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.”
He later claimed he was released “with a ‘warning,’ apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).”
He added that others remained in custody and should be freed immediately, framing the action as part of “state-sponsored ethnic cleansing.”

Lander accused Israel of violating Palestinian rights while Israeli officials blasted the Democratic candidate for a publicity stunt.
The military and police detained the group, reported at around 80 to 90 volunteers, including Americans, Israelis, and others associated with groups like Rabbis for Human Rights and the “Protect the Harvest” coalition, after declaring the area a closed military zone.
Authorities cited the security risk of an uncoordinated harvest near an Israeli community and viewed the arrival of dozens of activists as intended to provoke rather than simply assist with farming.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry called Lander’s trip a “calculated political provocation,” noting that his team had been informed in advance that proper coordination with relevant authorities was required but proceeded anyway.
According to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
“This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required.
He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.”

This is not Lander’s first encounter with law enforcement in a political context. Earlier in 2025, as NYC Comptroller and mayoral candidate, he was arrested by ICE agents after intervening to obstruct immigration enforcement at a Manhattan courthouse.
President Trump holds a midterm rally in Clemson, South Carolina

“And I think it’ll be an amazing day.”
A large crowd of supporters was lined up for over four hours before Trump’s speech.
