A wave of high-profile fraud cases involving Democratic officials is already drawing scrutiny—but an entirely different story involving Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed may prove far more consequential.

Newly resurfaced federal records document that El-Sayed’s biological mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), whose worldwide network was designated by the U.S. Treasury in 2004 under terrorism-related sanctions authorities.

Treasury alleged that international elements of the organization provided financial support to Osama bin Laden and had connections involving the Taliban, Hamas and other designated organizations.

In this broadcast, we go directly into the Treasury records, DOJ prosecution history and federal court exhibit list to separate what the documents actually establish from what they do not.

No rumors. No social-media telephone game. We show you the documents and let you decide.
