The NY Post did not disappoint.

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/09/ilhan-omar-feels-the-heat.phpThis article on Omar provides a concise timeline of her marriages and where her husband/brother was when she said she had no idea where he was. It provides the sources for the various addresses. It has info I did not know about.

Omar swore she had no idea where Elmi was, even though he was living near her. Not in the article but I recall there was a facebook photo showing them together during the period she swore she had not seen him.

Documents suggest Omar never stopped living with Hirsi — even after they ended their religious marriage and she was legally married to Elmi. In February 2009, when Omar legally married Elmi, she listed their marital address as a property in Columbia Heights, a suburb in Minneapolis.
However, just three months later, Hirsi used the same Columbia Heights property as his personal address on business filings for his One on One Cafe Lounge.
