President Donald Trump suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar was 'married to her brother' on Wednesday, ratcheting up his attacks on one of his Democrat tormentors.

He made the claim on the White House lawn shortly before departing for a rally, reigniting a rumor that first surfaced during Omar's victorious 2016 campaign.

'Well there's a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother,' Trump said. 'I know nothing about it, I hear that she was married to her brother ... I don't know but I'm sure that somebody would be looking at that.'

Omar's marital status was first scrutinized three years ago when a Somali website alleged that her second husband was her brother and that she was a bigamist.
