Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., continues to dish out six-figure payments to her husband's firm, which has now received more than $1 million from her campaign this cycle.
Federal Election Commission records released Tuesday afternoon show that Omar's campaign funneled $228,384.93 last quarter to the E Street Group, a D.C.-based consulting firm run by the congresswoman's husband, Tim Mynett. The payments, predominantly for digital and fundraising services, bring the total that Omar's campaign has sent to Mynett's firm to just over $1 million for the 2020 cycle.
Omar, a freshmen congresswoman, has faced scrutiny over numerous financial and personal issues since she was elected in 2018. She has drawn criticism for a lack of transparency about her previous marriages, over campaign finance violations, and for a potential violation of House ethics rules pertaining to the advance she received on a recently published memoir. Pressed for answers, she has routinely dismissed the inquiries as "smears" and "conspiracy theories."
Mynett's firm is the top vendor for Omar's campaign, which doled out $521,000 between April 1 and June 30 with Mynett's share accounting for 44 percent of that total.
The financial relationship between Mynett and Omar began before the two announced they were married this March, but it is unclear how long the two were romantically linked before they tied the knot.

Stealing our Taxpayer money !!!!
ReplyDeleteHe got the money, but look who he's married to!
ReplyDeleteCan’t wrap my head around the money in politics. Who the heck would give that kind of money to worthless crooks?
ReplyDeleteNot me 10:52, I support Trump 100% but have not donated one cent to either campaign. He has more wealth than I can even imagine, so I think he'll be fine without a small donation from me. Thank you
DeleteTrump in 2020, please!
ReplyDeleteSame rule of presidential candidates should apply to Congress also.....natural born citizens only!
ReplyDelete12:02 Agree 💯 %
ReplyDeleteThey all do it. Th Democrats and rebulicians. All are crooked. If people even had a clue. Those riots would be at those peoples houses. If the people being used ever find out the truth, it will not be good. I have never understood how one person can control so many others. Just look at Hitler and his reign of terror. He wasn't to far away from getting away with it. Our forefathers protected us. Go ahead and lose gun rights. Once that's done, we are all screwed. Why didn't Japan continue their distraction at Pearl Harbor? We would be owned by them right now. There is a commander on record saying they were afraid that many people owned guns and they couldn't win against that.
ReplyDeleteIt would be big news if it were a Republican doing this.
ReplyDeleteWhere did she get that kind of money being a Congressman?
ReplyDeleteNo different than Trump moving money to Jared Kushner's pockets.

ReplyDeleteShe's repulsive, but he got a very healthy dowry without having to tend cattle.
