Ilhan Omar’s Web Of Shady Family Businesses Exposed

Published

on

A new report is raising fresh questions about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family ties and political connections, detailing how millions in public funds flowed to a Minneapolis clinic once run by her sister.

According to a report by Olivia Rondeau at Breitbart News, Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, previously served as CEO of People’s Center Clinics & Services from 2014 to 2018. Omar began her term in the Minnesota House in 2017, during which time the state approved a $2.2 million capital budget allocation for the clinic.

The nonprofit, located in Minneapolis’ Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, has received roughly $33 million in grants from the Department of Health and Human Services since 2002.

The report notes that the People’s Center had a contract pharmacy agreement tied to the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program with Degdeg’s Carepoint Pharmacy. That pharmacy, signed onto the agreement in 2015 by Noor, lost its license in 2017 and is now listed as permanently closed.

Omar later touted her role in securing funding for the clinic, including celebrating renovations completed in 2022 alongside Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. The upgrades included a walk-in clinic, fitness center, prayer room, and a multilingual call center, according to local reporting cited in the Breitbart piece.

After being elected to Congress, Omar secured an additional $1 million in federal funding for the project. In April 2022, she said, “neither I nor my immediate family has any financial interest in this project.” Two years later, the clinic credited her with obtaining that funding.

Rondeau’s report also outlines Noor’s move to Africa after leaving the clinic, where she launched a healthcare consultancy, Grit Partners, in Kenya. Noor said the firm worked on projects funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Noor’s husband, Mohamed Keynan, previously held roles in Minnesota government before taking positions in Somalia, including serving as chief of staff to former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre and advising former President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.

The report further details Noor’s involvement in a telehealth startup, Hello! Caafi, launched in 2020. The company claimed it would expand access to healthcare in Somalia, though its website has since gone offline and its last social media activity dates back to 2022.

Additional scrutiny highlighted in the report centers on claims involving Omar’s past marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Omar has previously denied wrongdoing and stated under oath in 2017 that she had not had contact with him for years and did not know how to reach him.

However, investigative journalist David Steinberg uncovered website source code from Noor’s consulting firm that appeared to show Elmi’s Instagram account connected to the site’s development.

“The ties between Omar’s supposedly long-lost ex-husband and Omar’s sister appear to contradict Omar’s sworn testimony and add to the body of evidence that the ex-husband may be her brother, making all three siblings,” Alpha News reported of Steinberg’s discovery.

The allegations surrounding Omar’s family connections and past statements have been widely disputed, and no charges have been filed related to the claims.
