How much cooperation did you get from Omar?
It came up when she was running for Congress last year. One of our reporters confronted her about it last October. She did not show us the immigration records we asked for, only a photo of them on a cellphone.
We’ve asked her these questions, and also asked her to make her father available. We’ve tried to reach Elmi. We’ve tried to reach her sisters. Her family could put this (the question of Elmi’s relationship to Omar) to rest easily. No one will talk to us. I wish we could send a reporter to Mogadishu (Somalia) but we don’t have the bandwidth.
What kind of reaction have you had since the most recent story came out?
We have been slammed by both sides. On the left, people are saying, “Why are you dignifying these unproven allegations?” To which I reply, “Look at the tax filings — it would be journalistic negligence if we didn’t try to find out what’s behind it.”
On the right, the complaint has been that we did too little, too late: “This has been the story for years — where have you been?”
Since the article came out, no one has come forward with smoking-gun, decisive proof that would make it look like we missed something. You see circumstantial evidence that begs for some kind of explanation from a member of Congress, but there’s no smoking gun that she married her brother.

As DonDiego has posted previously:

DonDiego's original post provided links to allegations of fraud and perjury against Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Mn) and references to numerous sources of the information available to support the allegations, including f'rinstance photos of official documents.
DonDiego invites PJStroh to present argument(s) against the documentation provided by the author of the allegations.

From PJStroh's source:
"My interest as an editor began with the silence she has maintained about her improper tax filings. That got my attention. She would say only that she had corrected the 2014 and 2015 tax filings and would not divulge anything about why she had filed taxes with a man she was not married to when she was separated but still married to someone else. It was a natural question: Who is Elmi and how does he fit into her life? We were not getting a lot of answers."
"Her family could put this (the question of Elmi’s relationship to Omar) to rest easily. No one will talk to us. I wish we could send a reporter to Mogadishu (Somalia) but we don’t have the bandwidth." [Poor old DonDiego doesn't know exactly what 'bandwidth' means in this context.]
Conclusion:
i. There are a lot of questions addressing the behavior of Ilhan Omar that go way beyond the allegation that she married her brother. [See poor old DonDiego's original post and links.]
ii. PJStroh's source recognizes there are serious questions concerning questionable behavior of Representative Ilhan Omar [D-Mn] well beyond just the question of 'Did she marry her brother'. And Politifact recognizes "circumstantial evidence that begs for some kind of explanation" of these questions.
