## Key points

- Prosecutors allegedly sought information about Ilhan Omar from her former bodyguard.
- His lawyer says they offered immigration help in exchange.
- The probe reportedly included questions about a possible $10,000 payment.

## Summary

Prosecutors allegedly tried to recruit Abdullahi Mohamed, a former member of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s security detail, as an informant in an investigation involving her personal and financial affairs. His lawyer says officials offered help with Mohamed’s immigration case in exchange for damaging information, and described the probe as being directed by the White House, raising questions about political influence.

Mohamed applied for a green card in October 2025 after marrying an American woman, but his application was denied after he said he had not worked for the Somali government or interacted with US politicians. The Justice Department later investigated him for allegedly lying under oath, an offence carrying up to five years in prison. At a March meeting, prosecutors reportedly asked about Omar’s immigration history and marriage, as well as a possible $10,000 payment involving her and one of Mohamed’s brothers; Omar has denied wrongdoing.
