Scott Johnson on Rep. Ilhan Omar Marrying Her Brother and Minnesota's Somali Fraud

Scott Johnson, an original contributor to the blog Power Line, joins the show to break down his decade-long reporting on Rep. Ilhan Omar marrying her brother and the extensive fraud issues tied to Minnesota's Somali community. Johnson walks through the documentation, court records, and investigative reporting that underpin the marriage allegations, explains why the story has been ignored or downplayed by much of the media, and connects it to broader patterns of political protection and accountability failures. He also discusses Minnesota's ongoing Somali fraud scandals, how taxpayer dollars have been misused, and why these cases raise serious questions about oversight, enforcement, and public trust.
