Omar Gave Hundreds of Thousands In Campaign Funds To Boyfriend's Firm

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has had an eventful week after she was outed as having an affair with a married staffer.

Omar hasn't commented on the accusations, but there's a possible second scandal involving the more than $200,000 that her campaign has spent with Mynett's firm.

Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar's campaign.

Here's the odd thing: The overwhelming majority of Omar's funds spent on the E Street Group were paid after she won the contested primary and during the totally noncompetitive general election race in her D+26 district.

The Omar campaign payments to the E Street Group, often reported as "Fundraising consulting" fees on her FEC filings, have accelerated in the 2020 cycle.

The physician, 55, and her 38-year-old husband - who has worked for left-wing Democrats such as Omar and her Minnesota predecessor, Keith Ellison - have a 13-year-old son together.

Both Somali-born US Rep Omar and Mynett, 38, refused to discuss the fling after multiple sources confirmed it to DailyMailTV. But our exclusive was confirmed in divorce papers filed today by Mynett's high-flying doctor wife Beth, 55, who accuses her estranged husband of dumping her for Omar.
