According to court exhibits, Omar appeared in a February 5, 2021 email exchange involving Bock under the subject line “help with USDA food program.” Additional records reportedly referenced “Ilhan’s Office” in communications between Bock and former Feeding Our Future employee Abdikerm Eidleh, who fled the U.S. after being indicted in 2022.
There has been no indication in court filings that Omar has been charged with any wrongdoing, and prosecutors have not publicly accused her of participating in the fraud scheme. Omar did not appear at a recent hearing held by Minnesota’s Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee examining the scandal.
