Ilhan Omar: Fraud Exhibit A
4th October 2025
Defendant Salim Said was one of the most successful players in the Feeding Our Future fraud. On trial with fraud ringleader Aimee Bock earlier this year, Said sought to introduce the campaign video (below) featuring Ilhan Omar in his defense. The video shows Omar talking up Said’s Safari restaurant in Somali and bringing meals outside to waiting cars. Lead prosecutor Joe Thompson objected to Omar’s part in the video as an attempt to graft her prestige as a member of Congress onto Said’s defense.
