Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has paid nearly $900,000 to her new husband's consulting firm since he began working for her in 2018.Read more here.
The freshman congresswoman from Minnesota gave Tim Mynett, whom she married in March, $292,814.99 from her campaign this year for digital advertising, fundraising consulting, and research services, according to the Federal Election Commission filings, the New York Post first reported on Tuesday. All together, Omar has paid Mynett's firm $878,930.65 the entire time Mynett had worked for Omar's campaign.
Omar's payments to Mynett's firm prompted an ethics complaint in August after Mynett's then-wife alleged in a divorce filing that Mynett was having an affair with the congresswoman while working as a paid consultant. Omar was married to her second husband at the time.
