‘Guilty’ – Ilhan Omar Tied To Serious Fraud Scheme – People Want Her Deported

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is facing new scrutiny over her personal finances after a watchdog group accused her of defaulting on federal student loans while advocating for debt forgiveness in Congress

The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday alleging that Omar, who earns $174,000 a year, is in collection proceedings over federally guaranteed student loans.

“We are writing today to share serious concerns about abuse of office and abuse of government loans by a member of the House of Representatives, Representative Ilhan Omar,” AAF President Thomas Jones wrote.

According to the group, Omar’s financial disclosure forms show she owes between $15,001 and $50,000 in outstanding student loan debt — loans backed by the federal government.

“As you know, these loans are guaranteed by the United States Government and Representative Omar’s default would shift the cost of her student loans onto the U.S. taxpayer,” Jones said. “The fact that someone making $174,000 as a Member of Congress cannot pay their student loans is unconscionable and embarrassing.”

The group went further, accusing Omar of using her position to pressure federal agencies not to enforce collection on her loans.

“Adding insult to injury, there are credible claims that she is using her influence as a Member of Congress to bully the Department of Education into not collecting the past-due payments,” Jones wrote.

Jones said his organization filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain any correspondence between Omar and the Department of Education related to her loans.

The letter urged Speaker Johnson to take an unprecedented step to ensure taxpayers are not left on the hook.

“We are calling upon you to instruct the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives to impound Representative Omar’s Congressional salary and pay it out to Nelnet, the servicer of her federal student loan, until such time as her payments are current,” the letter said.

Omar’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the allegations.

The AAF has frequently targeted Democratic lawmakers with ethics complaints and financial investigations, arguing that elected officials should be held to a higher standard when it comes to managing public and personal funds.

Critics say the revelations highlight a potential conflict of interest for Omar, who has been one of the most vocal advocates of widespread student debt cancellation. She has repeatedly called for full forgiveness of federal student loans, framing the issue as one of economic justice.

But the watchdog group says her personal situation undermines that message.

“If you’re in default on taxpayer-backed loans and using your office to influence policy that could personally benefit you, that’s an ethical red flag,” Jones said.

Omar’s finances have drawn attention before. In 2023, the financial analytics firm Quiver Quantitative noted a sharp change in her disclosures over the years.

“When she first filed in 2019, she didn’t disclose any assets,” the firm wrote at the time. “Her recent filing shows assets worth up to $288,000. However, she now has up to $100,000 in credit card debt, along with up to $50,000 of existing student loan debt.”

The latest claims add to the list of controversies surrounding the congresswoman, who has faced ethics complaints and campaign finance questions in the past.

Whether the House takes action remains to be seen, but AAF says it will continue pressing for transparency — and repayment.

Trump Orders DOJ Investigation Into Democratic Connections to Epstein

President Trump on Friday demanded that the Justice Department open criminal investigations into several high-profile Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Democratic megadonor and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, accusing them of maintaining close ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

In a lengthy social-media post, Trump blasted Democrats for “using the Epstein Hoax” as a political weapon during the shutdown fight and said federal law enforcement would examine what he suggested were long-standing connections to Epstein’s underage sex-trafficking network.

“This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats,” Trump wrote.

He added, “Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his ‘Island.’ Stay tuned!!!”

Trump said he had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department “together with our great patriots at the FBI” to investigate the “involvement and relationship” between Epstein and top Democratic figures.

Hours later, Bondi confirmed she had already assigned a prosecutor to oversee the probe.

“Thank you, Mr. President. SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I’ve asked him to take the lead,” she wrote on X.

“As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people,” Bondi added.

Trump also said investigators should examine “J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions” in connection with Epstein’s network.

The president’s announcement followed a new batch of unverified emails released earlier in the week by House Democrats, which they claimed showed that Trump’s knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity was deeper than previously known.

On Wednesday, Democrats published messages in which Epstein claimed Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of his victims and “knew about the girls.”

Epstein added in another message, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop,” referring to Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted of conspiring in Epstein’s crimes.

Republicans responded by releasing their own collection of emails from Epstein’s estate, some of which also referenced Trump, intensifying the partisan clash and reviving demands for the full release of all government-held Epstein records.

The competing document dumps have renewed national debate over Epstein’s extensive social circle and longstanding ties to prominent public figures.

The White House has repeatedly said Trump played no role in Epstein’s trafficking operation and severed ties with him nearly two decades ago.

“These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday.

She added, “And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar-a-Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.”

The House of Representatives is preparing for an expedited vote to release all Justice Department records related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and Speaker Mike Johnson has offered new details on the timeline. With the necessary support secured following the end of the 43-day government shutdown, Johnson said Wednesday that he plans to bring a bipartisan bill requiring the release of the files to the House floor in the coming days, Newsweek reported.

“We’re going to put that on the floor for a full vote when we get back next week,” Johnson told reporters, adding that the House Oversight Committee had “been working around the clock” on its own probe of Epstein.

SHE WALKED INTO HER DAUGHTER’S WEDDING IN A BRIDAL GOWN

SHE WALKED INTO HER DAUGHTER’S WEDDING IN A BRIDAL GOWN… BUT THE BRIDE HAD A

The sun was shining brightly on the day of Emily and Jake’s wedding, casting a warm glow over the picturesque garden venue. Guests arrived in their finest attire, eager to witness the union of the happy couple. As they mingled and caught up, whispers about Emily’s mother, Dorothy, circulated among the crowd.

Dorothy had a reputation for making every event about herself, and today was no exception. Her plan to wear a bridal gown to her own daughter’s wedding had set tongues wagging long before the ceremony. Emily, however, was not one to be overshadowed. She had crafted a plan so ingenious that it would turn the day’s potential drama into an unforgettable moment of unity and joy.

As the ceremony began, Dorothy made her entrance. She swept down the aisle in a dazzling white gown adorned with rhinestones, a tiara perched on her meticulously styled hair. The guests gasped, some in shock, others in disbelief. It was a bold move, even for Dorothy. But Emily, standing at the altar, remained composed, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

You see, Emily had anticipated her mother’s antics. She had spent months planning every detail of the wedding, and she wasn’t about to let Dorothy ruin it. So she devised a plan that was equal parts clever and heartfelt.

As Dorothy reached the front row, Emily’s bridesmaids, all wearing white dresses, rose from their seats. Each carried a small bouquet, identical to Emily’s. Their dresses were simple but elegant, clearly chosen to complement Emily’s own stunning gown. The unexpected sight of a whole bridal party in white caught everyone off guard, but the true brilliance of Emily’s plan was yet to unfold.

Emily stepped forward, embracing her mother warmly. The gesture was genuine, not just for show. She took the microphone from the officiant and turned to address the guests.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Emily began, her voice clear and steady. “Today is not just a celebration of love between Jake and me. It’s a celebration of family, unity, and embracing every part of who we are.”

She turned to her mother with a smile. “Mom, you taught me to be strong, to stand out, and to love fiercely. I want you to know that today, you’re not stealing the spotlight. You’re part of it.”

The bridesmaids stepped forward, forming a semi-circle around Dorothy. Emily handed her mother a bouquet, identical to the others. The audience watched in awe as Dorothy, initially hesitant, joined the circle. The tension melted away as the guests erupted into applause.

The ceremony proceeded, filled with laughter and tears of joy. In that moment, Emily’s plan had not only defused a potentially awkward situation but had also transformed it into a touching testament to love and acceptance. Dorothy, for all her bravado, seemed genuinely moved by her daughter’s gesture.

Later, as the reception kicked into high gear, Dorothy was the life of the dance floor. She twirled and laughed with guests, her earlier intentions forgotten. Emily’s genius backup plan had not only saved the day but had also brought everyone closer together.

In the end, the wedding was a perfect reflection of Emily and Jake’s love—a celebration of family, flaws and all. And as the newlyweds took to the dance floor for their first dance, surrounded by their loved ones in white, it was clear that this was a day no one would soon forget.
