Omar Paid Additional $215,000 From Campaign Coffers to Alleged Boyfriend's Firm

Rep. Ilhan Omar continues to push campaign cash to a firm run by her alleged boyfriend, filings show.

Omar's new committee filings submitted Friday morning show that between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019, her committee made $215,000 in additional payments to the E Street Group, a firm run by political consultant Tim Mynett, Omar's alleged boyfriend.

Mynett's group is yet again the highest-paid vendor from Omar's campaign.

Over the first three quarters of 2019, Omar's campaign paid out a total of $310,000 to the E Street Group.

Accounting for the fourth-quarter payments, Mynett's firm collected a total of $525,000 from Omar's campaign in 2019.

Dr. Beth Mynett, Mynett's ex-wife, said in divorce papers filed last year that her husband was having an affair with Omar.

"By way of example, days prior to defendant's devastating and shocking declaration of love for Rep. Omar and admission of their affair, he and Rep. Omar took the parties' son to dinner to formally meet for the first time at the family's favorite neighborhood restaurant while plaintiff was out of town," the papers said.
