新泽西州民主党国会候选人亚当·哈马维医生因其与被定罪的恐怖分子、被称为“盲眼谢赫”的奥马尔·阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼的关联而受到审查。哈马维在1995年阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼的世贸中心爆炸案审判中作为辩护证人出庭。在准备参加一个深蓝选区的大选之际，批评人士正对他过去的关联提出质疑。

FOX独家首发：一名资深共和党议员证实，他将对一位可能的民主党同僚启动“全面调查”。该议员与1993年世贸中心爆炸案主谋的关联在新泽西州周二的初选后搅动了2026年中期选举的局势。
亚当·希沙姆·哈马维医生是一名退伍战斗整形外科医生，在普林斯顿附近拥有自己的诊所，但因其与恐怖分子奥马尔·阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼的关联以及为其担任辩护证人的行为遭到猛烈批评。阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼后来在北卡罗来纳州的一所联邦监狱中去世。
众议院外交事务委员会中东小组委员会主席、纽约州共和党众议员迈克尔·劳勒表达了对哈马维任职国会的担忧，并随后向福克斯新闻数字频道证实，他确实将推动对这位颇具争议的进步派议员展开调查。
哈马维在周二的民主党初选中赢得12人竞争的席位，该席位代表新泽西州中部选区，本世纪以来从未选出过共和党议员——他将于11月面对长期候选人格雷格·梅勒教授。

劳勒向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，哈马维的履历对于一名日常工作能够接触美国最敏感国家安全信息的人来说，完全不符合任职资格。
“亚当·哈马维曾为奥马尔·阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼担任辩护证人，正是这位‘盲眼谢赫’策划了1993年世贸中心爆炸案。而在那一年前，他还曾在波斯尼亚的一个组织中志愿服务，该组织被美国财政部认定为恐怖主义资助机构，且9/11委员会将其与奥萨马·本·拉登的网络联系在一起，”劳勒说道。
“他从未为此作出任何解释。”
劳勒质疑哈马维在国会任职以及接触外交事务委员会同类信息的“任职资格”。
“如果他在11月当选，我将推动全面调查，因为美国民众有权了解真相。”
劳勒代表的纽约州罗克兰县紧邻纽约市北部，拥有规模可观的东正教犹太人口——他一直坚定捍卫以色列和犹太民众，抵御来自伊朗和真主党的威胁。

劳勒的选区近期举办了唐纳德·特朗普总统的集会，邀请了纽约巨人队四分文学家克逊·达特出席。而当肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗的儿子在华盛顿一家酒吧醉酒骚扰劳勒，并在针对以色列的谩骂中“指责”他是犹太人时，劳勒在反恐和以色列问题上的立场再次受到关注。

邻近的新泽西州民主党众议员乔希·戈特海默没有直接呼吁展开调查，但他告诉《犹太内幕》，他对哈马维“与攻击美国的恐怖组织和领导人的关联”存在“严重质疑和深切担忧”。
与劳勒一样，戈特海默表示，哈马维必须就这些关联向新泽西州民众作出解释。
阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼的团队传唤哈马维作为证人，他在证词中描述了前往底特律参加有这位极端主义教士出席的会议的经历。
哈马维作证称，阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼经常谈论“圣战”，并且有一次这位谢赫质问后来成为政府线人的埃马德·塞勒姆，为何埃及总统胡斯尼·穆巴拉克尚未被暗杀。
哈马维将针对他的一些指责归咎于伊斯兰恐惧症，并反驳了类似的定性，包括他自己的一位民主党初选对手、普兰菲尔德市长阿德里安·马普的指责。
“任何穆斯林在某个时刻都会被称为恐怖分子，这些刻板印象早已过时且陈腐不堪，”他在接受《新泽西观察家报》采访时回应马普时说道。
哈马维的竞选团队此前曾向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，在阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼审判相关事件发生时，他正在军中服役，并提到了诸如伊利诺伊州民主党参议员塔米·达克沃斯这样的盟友，后者称赞这位外科医生在战场上救过她的命。
然而，领导美国政府起诉阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼的检察官指出，哈马维是主动出庭为这位“盲眼谢赫”辩护的。
“他本不必出庭，除非他自己愿意，”前美国检察官安德鲁·麦卡锡在周三的“报道”节目中说道。

“不像我传唤了他，也不像政府将他作为敌对证人带入法庭。他主动出庭为这个人作证。他清楚地知道他是谁。事实上，在交叉询问中，他声称不记得有关穆巴拉克的对话，这一证词并不太有说服力，”麦卡锡在谈及这位教士前往底特律的行程时说道。
多名批评人士指出，哈马维还在证人席上以穆斯林问候语“愿平安降临于你”向阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼致意，这表明两人存在私人交情。
在初选期间被记者追问时，哈马维辩称，阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼是该州穆斯林社区的精神领袖，“并非一直在宣扬死亡与毁灭”，并补充称他本人憎恶一切暴力。

根据哈马维在法庭上的证词，他与阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼最初于1991年在新泽西州马塔万的一所中学论坛上相识。

AOC-backed Dem connected to Twin Towers bombing terrorist faces congressional pressure after primary win
June 4, 2026 1:02pm EDT / Fox News
Adam Hisham Hamawy served as a defense witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman and volunteered with a group tied to bin Laden’s network
By Charles Creitz, Fox News
New Jersey Democratic congressional nominee Dr. Adam Hamawy is under scrutiny for his ties to convicted terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as the ‘Blind Sheikh.’ Hamawy testified as a defense witness in Abdel-Rahman’s 1995 World Trade Center bombing trial. Critics are questioning his past associations as he prepares for the general election in a deep-blue district.

FIRST ON FOX: A top Republican confirmed he will seek a “full investigation” of a likely Democratic colleague whose ties to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind roiled the 2026 midterm landscape after New Jersey’s Tuesday primaries.
Dr. Adam Hisham Hamawy is a veteran combat plastic surgeon who operates his own practice near Princeton but has been heavily criticized for his ties to and service as a defense witness for terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman — better known as the “Blind Sheikh” — who later died in a North Carolina federal prison.
Rep. Michael Lawler, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Middle East Subcommittee, expressed his concerns about Hamawy serving in Congress and later confirmed to Fox News Digital that he will indeed seek a probe of the controversial progressive.
Hamawy won a 12-way Democratic primary Tuesday for a Central Jersey seat that has not elected a Republican this century — and now faces perennial candidate Prof. Gregg Mele in November.

Lawler told Fox News Digital that Hamawy’s resume is more than disqualifying for someone whose day job would give him access to the nation’s most sensitive national security information.
“Adam Hamawy was a defense witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Blind Sheikh behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and a year earlier volunteered in Bosnia with an organization the U.S. Treasury designated a financier of terrorism and the 9/11 Commission tied to Osama bin Laden’s network,” Lawler said.
“He has never answered for any of it.”
Lawler questioned Hamawy’s “fit[ness] to serve” in Congress and to be privy to the same information he is on the Foreign Affairs panel.
“If he’s elected in November, I’ll push for a full investigation because the American people deserve the truth.”
Lawler notably represents Rockland County, N.Y. — an area just north of New York City with a sizable Orthodox Jewish population — and has been a steadfast defender of Israel and the Jewish people against threats from Iran and Hezbollah.

Hamawy previously volunteered at a Gaza hospital amid the conflict.
Lawler’s district recently hosted President Donald Trump’s rally featuring New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart — and his visibility on counterterrorism and Israel issues was brought to the fore when Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., son drunkenly confronted Lawler at a Washington bar and “accused” him of being Jewish during a diatribe about Israel.

Neighboring Congressman Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from North Jersey, didn’t directly call for a probe but told Jewish Insider that he has “serious questions and deep concerns” about Hamawy’s “associations with terrorist organization and leaders who have attacked America.”
Like Lawler, Gottheimer said Hamawy must answer for these connections to the people of the Garden State.
Abdel-Rahman’s team called Hamawy as a witness, where he described traveling to Detroit for a conference at which the extremist cleric would appear.
Hamawy testified Abdel-Rahman regularly spoke of “jihad” and that at one point the Sheikh questioned Emad Salem — who later became a government informant — as to why Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak had not yet been assassinated.
Hamawy has blamed Islamophobia for some of the invective directed his way — and pushed back on similar characterizations, including from one of his own Democratic primary challengers, Plainfield Mayor Adrian Mapp.
“Any Muslim is going to be called a terrorist at some point, and these tropes are outdated and worn,” he told the New Jersey Monitor in response to Mapp.
Hamawy’s campaign previously told Fox News Digital that he was in the military when the events covered Abdel-Rahman’s trial took place, and pointed to allies like Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., who credited the surgeon with saving her life on the battlefield.
The prosecutor who led the U.S. government’s case against Abdel-Rahman, however, noted how Hamawy appeared voluntarily to defend the Blind Sheikh.
“He didn’t have to come unless he wanted to,” former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy told “The Story” on Wednesday.

“It wasn’t like I subpoenaed him. It wasn’t like the government brought him in as a hostile witness. He volunteered to testify for this guy. He knew exactly who he was. And in fact, on cross-examination, his testimony that he didn’t recall a conversation about Mubarak was not very persuasive,” McCarthy said, referring to the cleric’s trip to Detroit.
Hamawy also greeted Abdel-Rahman from the stand with the Muslim greeting of Salaam Alaykum, suggesting personal familiarity, according to several critics.
When pressed by reporters earlier in the primary, Hamawy argued that Abdel-Rahman was a spiritual leader in the state’s Muslim community and “wasn’t preaching death and destruction all the time” while adding that he himself abhors all violence.

Hamawy and Abdel-Rahman first met at a middle school forum in Matawan, New Jersey, in 1991, according to the former’s testimony in court.
The candidate did not respond to Fox News’ latest request for comment.
