Trump Trolls Ilhan with phone meme

Trump Trolls Ilhan Omar With ‘Scam Likely’ Meme as Dispute Over Her Name Escalates

President Trump used a mocking phone-call meme to target Rep. Ilhan Omar on Saturday, according to The Gateway Pundit. The post came as the report described an escalating fight over Omar’s name and background, along with an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

The investigation moved into focus after a recent court filing by the DC US Attorney’s Office. According to the report, the filing referred to the congresswoman in search warrants as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” The warrants involved her home and property, while the filing stated that they had not been fully executed.

The report then cited sources familiar with the investigation who alleged that “Ilhan Omar” was a fake alias used to obtain citizenship in the year 2000, live in the country illegally, and run for office. Those claims were presented as part of the continuing investigation and political dispute.

A former Minnesota federal immigration judge also said the allegations could “call into question” every document Omar had filled out under the name Ilhan Omar.

The article also quoted US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who reportedly confirmed the name at issue on Thursday. Pirro said, “Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. You had it absolutely right.” She added, “Her sister is Sahra Nur Said Elmi, and her sister actually wrote a book and talked about the fact that Ilhan is her sister. So that is her name.”
