Forty percent of Ilhan Omar's campaign spending went to alleged boyfriend's firm

In the second half of 2019, out of every $10 that Ilhan For Congress spent, $4 went to the E Street Group, the political consulting group run by Tim Mynett, Rep. Ilhan Omar's alleged boyfriend.
And more than 90% of the E Street Group's entire earnings reported to the FEC came from Ilhan For Congress.
According to the campaign's latest fourth-quarter filing of last year, $216,564.64, or more than half of Ilhan For Congress's spending, went to the E Street Group. Omar's team reported a total of $403,139.73 in disbursements to retain her seat in an overwhelmingly Democratic district. In the third quarter, Omar's campaign allocated $146,712.64 of its $493,389.80 in disbursements to the E Street Group.
That means that, in half a year, $363,277.28 of her campaign's total reported disbursements went to her alleged paramour's firm, one that seems to have not existed prior to the last election cycle. In fact, of the $677,913.44 that the E Street Group reported receiving from campaigns to the FEC for the entirety of its existence, a majority, $369,551.02, came from Ilhan For Congress.
Mynett's divorce, in which his wife alleges he left her to have an affair with Omar, may cost him. Good thing his alleged girlfriend's campaign evidently has deep pockets
