Ilhan Omar's ex-husband Ahmed Elmi pops back to spotlight amid Trump's attacks

• Ilhan Omar's ex-husband, Ahmed Elmi, has re-emerged in the public eye after years, amid renewed political attacks from Donald Trump.
• Elmi, married to Omar from 2009-2017, has been living in the UK, earning a doctorate and working as a research assistant.
• Trump has revived unverified claims that Omar married her brother to enter the US, also mocking her hijab and calling her "illegal."
• Multiple fact-checkers (AP, Reuters, Snopes, AFP) have found no evidence to support the "brother" claim, and no federal charges have been filed.
• Omar dismissed Trump's attacks on X, stating his "obsession with me is beyond weird" and that he is "regurgitating bigoted lies."
