Sibling incestress Ilhan Omar turns 'blind eye' as top staffer dates, marries young underling: 'Glaring abuse of power dynamics'

Rep. Ilhan Omar gave her blessing to her top congressional aide marrying
a young underling – and even promoted the bride a month before the
wedding, The Post has learned. 

The lefty “Squad” member from Minnesota attended the Dec. 19 nuptials in
the Virginia countryside, lending her seal of approval to the union
between her longtime Chief of Staff Connor McNutt, 36, and legislative
aide Tahreem Alam, 27. They both still work in Omar’s office. 

The whole staff got invited, according to sources, and images reviewed
by The Post indicate festive wedding ceremonies, including one where the
bride and groom wore traditional south Asian garb. 

But not everyone in Omar’s Capitol Hill orbit was ready to celebrate.

One Democratic source fumed at a “glaring conflict and abuse of power
dynamics” in the office that preceded the wedding, since McNutt had
oversight over his future bride. 

“Turning a blind eye to this sort of conduct within her own office, and
then attending the wedding on top of that, and being by all accounts
pretty supportive of it . . . I find it gross, especially coming from
like a progressive stalwart like her,” said the source. 

 “We generally don’t comment on the personal lives of our staff, but
 yes, the two of them got married and we are happy for them,” an Omar
 spokesperson told The Post. 

Omar’s team said Alam isn’t supervised by her husband, and that the
lawmaker makes all promotions in the office, and that the relationship
and office policies had been disclosed to “relevant parties.” 

“Yes, the Congresswoman gives the raises and promotions,” Omar’s office
said when asked if the arrangement was in place when the promotion went
through. 

What irked the source most was the sequence of events. The bride, Alam,
got promoted from staff assistant to her more substantial policy role in
November 2025 – just a month before the wedding, the source said,
although it was unclear if her fiancee had influence over the decision. 

The relationship raises “serious questions” about potential “favoritism
and misuse of resources,” according to the source, who said Omar failed
to adequately address a “textbook power imbalance.” 

A second source noted that the marital announcement — shortly before the
wedding date in December — blind-sided office staffers, some of whom
expressed concerns to the congresswoman. 

Salary data posted by LegiStorm reveal Alam earned $67,000 in 2025,
including $1,200 in “other compensation” that came in September. 

She previously worked in a lower staff assistant role and keeping Omar’s
schedule. It wasn’t known when Alam and McNutt started dating.
