Ilhan Omar's campaign cash to consultants dipped by millions after halting payments to husband's firm

Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, co-owns the E Street Group, which previously raked in nearly $3M from her campaign

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's campaign cash to consultants fell by millions of dollars after she removed her husband's firm from her payroll, a Fox News Digital review of federal filings has found.

The Minnesota lawmaker dished out millions of dollars from her campaign's coffers to the E Street Group, a political consulting firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, during the 2020 election cycle. Mynett's group had raked in half of Omar's total expenditures, making it the committee's largest vendor during that election.

But after facing increased scrutiny over the payments, Omar abruptly changed course from her once defiant state and cut off the cash flow to the E Street group shortly before the switch into the 2022 cycle. Now, her campaign pays far less for the same services to various other firms, calling into question the high nature of the E Street Group's past charges.

Following her husband's firm's removal, Omar's expenses towards similar services fell by around $2 million, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings.

Same ol' swampiness.  She's not the only one.  She must have learned it from someone else who is doing the same.
