Promising an 'intimate and rousing' account of her trials, tribulations and inspirational journey from war-torn Somalia to the United States Congress, Ilhan Omar's new book has all the makings of a bestseller.

But what is less certain, is how much the leftist firebrand will earn from her upcoming memoir This is What America Looks Like - or whether it will finally address questions about her multiple marriages and torrid affair with her married aide.

Outside the Capitol on Wednesday, Omar was asked whether her book advance would exceed the reported $2 million pocketed by President Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton for his book.

'We will have to find out,' Omar, 38, laughed as she walked away with her aides.

Her literary agent Steve Ross was even less forthcoming, failing to respond when asked whether 'squad' member Omar would write about the string of scandals that have dogged her personal life and threatened her bid for re-election.

Omar's literary agent failed to respond when asked whether Omar would write about the string of scandals that have dogged her personal life. Recently, DailyMail.com spoke to a community leader in Minneapolis who confirmed the long-standing rumor that Omar married her brother Ahmed Elmi (pictured) allegedly so that he could get papers to stay in the US

DailyMail.com also broke the news last year that Omar was having an affair with married Democratic fundraiser Tim Mynett, whose firm E. Street Group she continues to pay for consultancy work.

DailyMail.com broke the news last year that Omar was having an affair with married Democratic fundraiser Tim Mynett, whose firm E. Street Group she continues to pay for consultancy work.

Our scoop was confirmed when Mynett's doctor wife Beth filed for divorce, describing how her husband of seven years made a 'shocking declaration of love' for the freshman representative before dumping her last April.

The 38-year-old Congresswoman announced her new memoir This is What America Looks Like, which will be out on May 26, last Tuesday

More recently, DailyMail.com spoke to a Minneapolis community leader who confirmed on the record the long-standing rumor that Omar married her brother Ahmed Elmi allegedly so that he could get papers to stay in the United States.

Omar responded with a social media rant about 'fake news stories' and 'anti-Muslim smears' but would neither discuss the story, nor did she provide evidence of supposed bias.

The congresswoman was back on Twitter recently to tease the new memoir, billed as the rags to riches story of how she overcome prejudice and adversity to become one of the first Muslim women elected to the House of Representatives.

She also posted links for supporters to order copies of the $27.99 book before it goes on sale May 26.

A former refugee, Omar became a national figure in 2018 when she picked up 70 percent of the vote in Minnesota's overwhelmingly Democratic 5th congressional district.

A darling of the progressive left, she soon came under attack from Republicans for issues such as her support of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement against Israel.

She was also accused of trivializing 9/11 in a speech this time last year, saying 'some people did something' in relation to the attacks on the Twin Towers.

The book must surely mention Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi (pictured with Omar), Omar's first husband and the father of her three children. The two were married in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony that, like many in the immigrant community, was not registered with the state

Her 2020 re-election slogan 'Send her back to Congress!' is a nod to the many public spats she has had with President Donald Trump, who has told Omar she should leave the US if she is so disapproving of life here.

The back and forth helped propel Omar into the national conversation and will likely ensure strong sales of her book, co-authored by journalist Rebecca Paley and published by Dey Street Books.

In a 2019 interview announcing the memoir, Omar's literary agent hinted there would be no backing down in the war of words, saying: 'She is not someone who is timid about expressing her thoughts when she sees injustices - at the personal or the legislative levels.'

Less controversial, will be the account of how Omar's childhood in Somalia was plunged into terror when war broke out there when she was eight years old.

'The youngest of seven children, her mother had died while Ilhan was still a little girl,' a promotional statement reads.

'She was being raised by her father and grandfather when armed gunmen attacked their compound and the family decided to flee Mogadishu.

'They ended up in a refugee camp in Kenya, where Ilhan says she came to understand the deep meaning of hunger and death.

'Four years later, after a painstaking vetting process, her family achieved refugee status and arrived in Arlington, Virginia.

'Aged twelve, penniless, speaking only Somali and having missed out on years of schooling, Ilhan rolled up her sleeves, determined to find her American dream.'

Against the odds, Omar went on to attend college, worked as a community organizer then won a Congressional seat in her adopted home state of Minnesota.

Along the way, the 'trailblazing' politician 'questioned stereotypes', 'built bridges' and 'weathered many political storms' with 'irrepressible spirit, patriotism', according to Dey Street parent company, Harper Collins.

The book must surely mention Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, Omar's first husband and the father of her three children. The two were married in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony that, like many in the immigrant community, was not registered with the state.

It remains to be seen, however, how much she has to say about Ahmed Elmi, who she legally married in Eden Prairie, Minnesota in 2010 before they both enrolled at North Dakota State University to study fine art.

Omar claims she and Elmi split in 2011 and he went to the UK before she reunited and officially married Hirsi.

However, her account of their relationship was challenged by Abdihakim Osman, a former friend, who confirmed after months of persistent rumors, that both she and Hirsi had referred to Elmi as Omar's brother in private conversations.

'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country,' Osman told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview from last month.

Abdihakim Osman (left with Hirsi and right with Omar) is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States. But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him. 'No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later,' Osman, 40, told DailyMail.com

Osman said: 'When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community. I would say there were 100-150 people there.' But, he said: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.' Pictured: Omar (left) with Elmi (right)

Just as Omar has repeatedly ducked questions about her marriages, she also denied being in an extra-marital relationship with DC-based Democratic strategist Tim Mynett, after DailyMail.com broke the story of their fling last August.

When a reporter from Minneapolis-based WCCO-TV followed up our exclusive reporting and asked the congresswoman whether she had split from Hirsi and started dating someone else she replied: 'No, I am not'.

But weeks later, DailyMail.com published a dossier of evidence including photos of the two lovebirds coming and going from a cozy basement apartment they rented out just minutes away from Congress.

Insiders have gone so far as to suggest the pair are considering marriage, after Omar quietly divorced Hirsi last November and Mynett's divorce was finalized one month later.

Omar is running for a second term in Congress - where she has aligned herself with fellow leftist first-term congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts in the so-called 'Squad.'

She faces three opponents in the Democratic primary to be held in August.
