Rep. Ilhan Omar violated campaign finance law by using campaign funds to pursue an affair with married Democratic consultant Tim Mynett, according to a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Wednesday.

Omar’s campaign has disbursed $223,000 to Tim Mynett’s company, E. Street Group, LLC, from August 2018 through June 2019, mostly for fundraising consulting, FEC records show. But on April 1, her campaign began making payments to E. Street Group for “travel expenses.”

Less than a week later, on April 7, Tim Mynett confessed to his wife that he was “romantically involved with and in love with” Omar, according to a divorce filing Tuesday by Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett.

Beth Mynett said in her filing that her husband’s “more recent travel and long work hour snow appear to be more related to his affair with Rep. Omar than with his actual work commitments.”

Omar’s campaign disbursed $21,547 to cover travel expenses for E. Street Group across eight payments from April through June, FEC records show. Tim Mynett, 38, is a partner with the company, according to his LinkedIn profile and is one of the company’s governors, according to business filings submitted D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.

The timing of the Omar campaign’s travel reimbursements to E. Street Group coinciding with the start of Omar’s alleged affair with Tim Mynett is suspect, according to an FEC complaint filed Wednesday by the conservative National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC).

Isn't this essentially what Nashville's mayor resigned for? I think she was also charged with something. Using campaign or tax dollars to fund her affair with a cop.

The issue seems to be whether the travel was part of his job or was purely romantic. It actually seems like harassment to me, since there's no real reason to think that he was paid for work properly until April but then improperly after that.

But if it turns out that he no longer was doing any work but was merely traveling romantically with her, then that's a problem. Only an ethical one, since we've apparently dismantled the FEC.

The curious thing to me is that for a year, they paid him a couple hundred thousand for consulting services. Then, beginning in April 2019, they started paying travel expenses. Seems fishy.

Yup.

Sure, right after Duncan Hunter goes.

And Chris Collins. Since both of them have already been indicted and everything.

She has very very questionable integrity for someone who is so quick to point the finger at everyone else. She must go.

Do you feel the same about ever elected official who has had affairs? If so, a huge number of special elections will need to be scheduled.

You both sound too conservative.

Party like it's 2019 and someone else's money.

You keep saying affair. You realize that the pp is referring to the campaign money?

No campaign finance violations have been demonstrated. Why would she be required to "go" over something we don't even know exists?

The purpose of wearing the hijab is the same purpose behind religious Jewish women covering their hair (after they are married): One's hair is thought to be alluring to men, and a wife does not want to attract sexual interest from other men. So Omar wears the hijab as a symbol of this - and then commits adultery.

And please, for you leftists out there, stop racing to her defense simply because she is a Muslim. She's a hypocrite (among other things).

Not a leftist, but you're wrong here. The hijab is more of a cultural symbol than a religious one; it's actually meant to mimic the Virgin Mary (yes- yes. Look it up.) But you're also wrong because Muslim women aren't worse than anyone else when they are adulterers.

Omar's love pentagram would be as distasteful if she were a white woman from Connecticut as it is right now. And that she can get away with no answering legitimate questions about immigration fraud and campaign finance violations is much more concerning to me than how awful of a wife she appears to be.

I agree that her (potential) fraud invoking immigration reform and finance violations is more concerning,, but you are wrong about the meaning behind the hijab - and why her wearing of it shows her hypocrisy. The very word means "barrier," and it is associated with modesty (just like Orthodox Jewish women cover their hair).

She makes Muslim women look bad by wearing a symbol of modesty - and then opening her legs for one man while married to another.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/beliefs/hijab_1.shtml

Look, I lived in a Muslim country for years and I am confident I know the history of the hijab. And that women wear it regardless of their "standing" in the faith. You're wrong to make this about her being Muslim. She doesn't make other Muslim women look bad because this has nothing to do with her being Muslim. Just like white male senators who sleep around don't make all white men look bad. This is about Ilhan Omar. Not her religion. Full stop.

Exactly. I am a Dem who dislikes her and the drama she and "the Squad" are injecting at a time when we need sober adults to right the ship of state. But I object wholeheartedly to bringing her religion, gender, or race into this to imply anything about others who are female, black, or Muslim.

Exactly which post brought gender or race into this???

This is like a person wearing a big Star of David or a cross on their neck, as they commit adultery in your face.

This is a woman who has been in the news quite a bit recently. She was recently found guilty of campaign fraud for paying for out of state travel while serving as a state representative and using campaign funds to pay for IRS assistance. It was also revealed that she filed joint tax returns with a man to whom she was not married. And, local MN reporters continue to dig into her marriage to a man some have said is her brother for immigration purposes.

And, now this. Did she think nobody would notice? Or, does she just not care? Does she think nobody will question the payments made to this man? Perhaps the payments were all above board, but why bring even more scrutiny on one's personal life and finances?

No publicity is bad publicity. Have you not learned from the biggest troll in the White House?

Not really. After the Access Hollywood tape, everything is game.

Yeah, right. Would you please prepare a list? Because she would not be in the top 5.

Umm. Mark Sandord lost his governorship but was subsequently elected to the House, where he currently serves, and is running against Trump.

Sadly, allegations of consensual (or non-consensual) affairs whether married or with staff, straight or gay or with prostitutes, has never been disqualifying for office at any level. Only recently has non-consensual sexual behaviour become a disqualifyer and then only in some instnces.

Well you never had a candidate who presents as an observing Muslim before. And if Muslim-Americans, especially observing ones, were a key constituency for her win, then I assure you that a woman who presents as an observing Muslim "woman of faith" but was caught having an affair with a married non-Muslim guy will have substantial trouble campaigning in Muslim-majority communities. No mosque will sermonize for her.
