Ilhan Omar’s congressional staff pushed to change the Minnesota Democrat’s birthdate in official state records months after she won her seat in 2018, according to a bombshell new report.
The Somali-born congresswoman had been listed as born on October 4, 1981 by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library throughout her time in the state House. Wikipedia and news outlets including the BBC carried the same date on her biography.
However, in May 2019, her aides asked the library to move the year forward to 1982, according to emails obtained by the New York Post.
