Amid allegations that she married her brother and committed fraud on several fronts, a conservative watch dog group has filed an ethics complaint against Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar.



Judicial Watch has filed a House ethics complaint against Omar and is calling for a probe into potential crimes committed by Omar and her brother, whom she allegedly married.



According to the complaint, "Substantial, compelling and, to date, unrefuted evidence has been uncovered that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have committed the following crimes in violation of both federal law and Minnesota state law: perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud."



"The evidence is overwhelming Rep. Omar may have violated the law and House rules. The House of Representatives must urgently investigate and resolve the serious allegations of wrongdoing by Rep. Omar," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. "We encourage Americans to share their views on Rep. Omar’s apparent misconduct with their congressmen."



There have been several reports in the media questioning Omar's marital history and whether she actually did marry her brother.



The Star Tribune published a bombshell piece stating that "new investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and whether she once married a man — possibly her own brother — to skirt immigration laws."



The lawsuit also comes less than a week after President Donald Trump triggered liberals by giving fuel to the allegations surrounding Omar.



While speaking to reporters at the White House last Wednesday, Trump said: "There's a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it. … I’m sure that somebody would be looking at that."

Omar refuses to answer questions about the matter or provide any documents that could clear up the controversy.



And the fact that she has been hit with a complaint is the worst news imaginable for Omar, who likely wants these allegations to go away.
