Trump Claims Ilhan Omar's Seat 'Conceded' By Democrats
Trump declaired Omar's seat 'conceded' over allegedly using a fraudulent name, which the Minnesota lawmaker denies.
U.S. President Donald Trump declared Representative Ilhan Omar's congressional seat "conceded" by Democrats after federal court filings referred to her using a different name. Omar's name has always been Ilhan Omar, despite Trump's insistence that her name has changed and that she used a fraudulent one. The president also claimed that Omar married her own brother, a statement Omar has vehemently denied.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized Trump's "unhinged personal attacks and baseless accusations," while Omar's office described the claims as "completely false."
