Fox News reported that a deleted 2013 Father's Day post by Ilhan Omar referred to her father as "Nur Said," a name similar to that of her ex-husband. According to the summary of the report, the post has raised new questions.

The headline of the Fox News report says the deleted post could give a clue on an alleged brother marriage. The summary does not describe that allegation, identify who made it, or explain how the post relates to it. The report's framing treats the marriage as an allegation rather than an established fact.

Fox News described the post as a Father's Day message from 2013 that was deleted, but its summary does not say when the post was removed or by whom. The summary also gives no text of the post beyond the name and does not describe any other content in it. It does not say whether Omar has responded to the report, and it does not name the ex-husband whose name is said to be similar.

Fox News's report is the only source for the details in this account, and The Federal Chronicle has not independently reviewed the deleted post or confirmed the claims surrounding it. Questions about the post's origin and the alleged marriage remain open in the material available for this account.
