Ilhan Omar's husband snaps over rumors she fled US after federal immigration fraud raid
While Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has not been seen publicly since federal agents raided her Washington, D.C., residence on Monday, her political consultant husband was once again spotted emerging from their shared rental home this week.
Tim Mynett was seen Wednesday stepping out in the neighborhood to walk their Golden Labrador Retriever dog Teddy, a second time later that same day to take out the trash and a third time to walk out his wife's staffer.
"There are rumors that the congresswoman left the country, is that true?" Mynett was asked while on an evening walk with Teddy.
"You guys are annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here, man," he told Fox News Digital when approached about the developments this week, including President Donald Trump weighing in on the saga.
One of Omar's congressional staffers was captured the same day bringing into the couple's home two large bags from fast food chain Burger King. Security escorted her to the door and staked out in front of the house after she entered with the meal.

Rumors swirled that Omar fled from the country following the raid carried out by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) as part of a criminal fraud investigation looking into the Somali-born congresswomans immigration paperwork, as first reported by Fox News Digital.
Omars cellphone and passport were seized by federal authorities during the search.
The congresswoman's staff helped to get her birth year adjusted from 1981 to 1982 in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, according to reporters. Omar gained citizenship automatically through her fathers naturalization since she was reportedly 17 years old at the time. If Omar was born in 1981, she would have been 18 years old, meaning the validity of her citizenship could be threatened because she was no longer a minor.
The altered birthdate was published during her entire time serving in Minnesotas House and for months into her time serving in Congress.
When asked about the federal investigation earlier this week, Mynett told Fox News Digital he has "no concerns" about what federal authorities will find on his wife while investigating her immigration pathway.
"My wife came here when she was 12 years old as a child war refugee," Mynett said. "No concerns."
His comments to Fox News Digital come after Omars relatives were reportedly issued subpoenas as part of HSIs investigation into the congresswoman's immigration paperwork. At least two of Omar's relatives were subpoenaed, one of which is reportedly Omars sister, Sahra Noor.
