Jonathan Turley says it is “unclear what evidence” supports Mullin’s claim about Omar

In an X thread, law professor Jonathan Turley wrote that there was “a surprising development regarding long-standing but unproven allegations” against Rep. Ilhan Omar. He wrote that “it is unclear what evidence Mullen gathered to allegedly establish this fact” and that “there is still no indication of a referral to the Justice Department in the case,” while noting that “there would be more than the mere possibility of illegal activity if someone married her brother and falsely filled out marriage or immigration papers.” Turley spells the Secretary’s name “Mullen.”

“There would be more than the mere possibility of illegal activity if someone married her brother and falsely filled out marriage or immigration papers. It is unclear what evidence Mullen gathered to allegedly establish this fact.” … “Again, it is not clear what, if any, new evidence is being referenced by Mullen. However, we have not previously had an official, let alone a cabinet member, make this claim and refer to expected actions. There is still no indication of a referral to the Justice Department in the case so we have to wait to see if Mullen’s statement signals an actual major change in the investigation.”
