Allegations regarding Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan Senate race

Overview

During the Michigan Senate race, Republican nominee Mike Rogers and former President Donald Trump accused Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed has denied these connections, characterizing claims regarding his family as hearsay.

The accusations involve El-Sayed’s past political commentary, such as his 2011 support for the Egyptian uprising, and his involvement with organizations like the Muslim American Society.

Further scrutiny emerged regarding a past FBI raid on the home of El-Sayed’s mother, Fatten Elkomy, in the early 2000s. The raid was reportedly connected to an investigation into the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), an organization closed by the FBI after the Treasury Department designated its network for funding terrorism. While court exhibits reportedly named Elkomy 14 times in connection to the agency, she was not charged with a crime.
