Ilhan Omar facing renewed scrutiny

MINNEAPOLIS (TND) — Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is facing renewed scrutiny over campaign spending days before Tuesday’s Minnesota primary election.

Rep. Omar, a prominent member of the far-left congressional group known as the “Squad,” has been embroiled in campaign finance scandals since her first run for federal office in 2018.

The National Legal and Policy Center previously filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) against the Minnesota congresswoman’s campaign. The complaint alleged that campaign funds were unlawfully used to fund her now-husband’s consulting firm.

The complaint alleged that Rep. Omar “knowingly and willfully violated” campaign finance laws by “converting campaign funds to personal use” or “improperly reporting payee information.” The FEC ultimately dismissed the complaint in December 2021, but told Rep. Omar’s campaign to submit revisions to her reports.

The National Desk (TND) reviewed the filed revisions and discovered that Rep. Omar’s now-husband Timothy Mynett’s consulting firm, E Street Group, received nearly $3 million in direct payments from his wife’s campaign.

Campaign expenditures to the E Street Group significantly increased during the first quarter of 2019, coinciding with Rep. Omar’s alleged affair with Mynett, according to FEC records.

The congresswoman repeatedly denied affair claims to reporters at the time. However, she eventually posted a picture of her and her new husband on social media. FEC records show that Rep. Omar’s campaign increased spending on “consulting fees” to Mynett’s firm by nearly seven times its previous earnings during their alleged affair. more

  1. She’s already made it clear by stating she’s representing Somalia as a US Constitutional member not the United States of America. That’s treason. Omar definitely needs to be immediately deported – not back to Somalia, but somewhere she can’t create a power base for Anti-American jihadi operations. Saw the video of her admitting her alliance to only Somalia on the Gellar Report website. A great site owned by a conservative Jewish patriot.

  2. Deport her and the entire Somali population that was dropped there by Barry and keep her in power

    Maybe they will get her on how she and the non-brother hubby became millionaires in the capitalist country she hates
