Despite an ongoing federal complaint against her, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s re-election campaign reportedly paid her new husband’s consulting firm more than $600,000 in the first three weeks of July, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.

The Minnesota Democrat’s campaign has now paid E Street Group, the firm led by Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, more than $1.6 million since August 2018, according to FEC records. The most recent payments were first reported by The Washington Free Beacon. “The money accounted for 77 percent of the campaign’s disbursements during that time,” the Beacon reported.
