It was mentioned on Fox and confirmed by another officer, who worked with him. Never mind his cousin's comments, it's the imam at his local mosque, that are questionable. Oh, let's mention here that he has family (a brother?) living in Abbas-land. He identified himself as a Palestinian on some paperwork, although he was born in Virginia.     I mentioned the 6 figure range.
