The Morning Briefing: Rep. Ilhan Omar Has Some Tax, Campaign Finance Problems

The president and first lady depart Shannon, Ireland, en route to Washington, D.C. Ilhan Omar has some campaign finance problems, joins Black-Jewish congressional caucus.

Minnesota campaign officials ruled Rep. Ilhan Omar violated campaign finance rules when she used her campaign treasure chest to fund personal travel and to pay her tax bill.

The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board decided Thursday that Omar's use of campaign funds for personal out-of-state travel and to pay for her tax returns violated state campaign finance rules, according to The Associated Press.

The board ruled that Omar must reimburse her former campaign committee nearly $3,500 and pay the state a civil penalty of $500 for using campaign money to travel to Florida.

"I'm glad this process is complete and that the Campaign Finance Board has come to a resolution on this matter. We have been collaborative in this process and are glad the report showed that none of the money was used for personal use, as was initially alleged," Omar said in a statement her campaign released to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The report on Omar appears to indicate she filed fraudulent tax forms for at least two years related to her overlapping marriages.

Ilhan Omar suggests its 'un-American' for ICE to detain illegal immigrants.
