Court filings unsealed in October 2026 list Rep. Ilhan Omar's legal last name as Elmi, the same surname as the man she is accused of having married while calling him her brother. Asked whether her ex-husband is her brother, Omar said 'not to my knowledge.' The discussion centers on whether she was sworn in under a different name and whether the filings amount to admitted fraud.

## Segments

- [Gutfeld! Monologues](https://boilpoints.com/u/gutfeldmonologues), 2026-10-24, 6:45 to 8:12: **Reads the surname and calls for resignation**. Gutfeld reads the 'not to my knowledge' answer and the Elmi surname in the filings, then argues Omar was sworn in under a fake name and should resign. The legal claim is his own inference, not a document in the segment. New angle: Court filings list Omar's legal last name as Elmi, the same as the man she is accused of marrying as her brother.
- [The Megyn Kelly Show](https://boilpoints.com/u/themegynkellyshow), 2026-10-29, 36:30 to 38:07: **Replays the evasion on the second husband**. Notes that Omar's memoir names Ahmed Hirsi but describes a second husband only as an elopement at a low point and never names him, then replays the Chris Hayes 'not to my knowledge' answer as evidence of evasion. Stays inside the existing read of the filings and the interview.
