Al-Sayed's new question about alleged family ties with the Muslim Brotherhood
US President Donald Trump on Thursday linked Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood, amid investigations into his alleged family ties to the Islamist organization.
"He's a Muslim Brotherhood guy, 100%," Trump said at a luncheon in the White House Rose Garden. He is a Muslim Brotherhood man.
El-Sayed came under scrutiny from Republicans over social media posts by his half-sister, Aman Abdel Hadi, who claimed their mother was an active member of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood in the 1970s.

In response to the question of whether he believes that America is "ready for a Muslim president" on the eve of the race in the Senate?
He accused political opponents of engaging in anti-Muslim rhetoric instead of addressing his political positions.

However, according to Abdul Hadi, their mother was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a 2012 post on X, Abdul Hadi wrote: “I had a wonderful conversation with my mother about her involvement in the Muslim Brotherhood in the early 70s while she was in college.
In another social media post in 2012, she wrote: "My family have been MBs for a long time, but I always felt they moved into the weak/destructive political realm."
During his remarks, Trump said he was looking forward to visiting Michigan to "expose this fraud that's going on."
"He's a crook. He's a crook," Trump said.
