Ilhan Omar gave more than $2.9 million to her husband's political consulting firm during the 2020 election cycle

providing nearly 80 percent of the company’s income...

The democrats are just as corrupt as the republicans are, but our USSR media will NEVER tell us as much.

“We consulted with a top FEC campaign attorney to ensure there were no possible legal issues with our relationship,” she wrote. “We were told this is not uncommon and that no, there weren’t.”

Fuck the republicans, and fuck the democrats MORE.

This was not illegal, because all of the money was used for her campaign, as promised, and as required by law. The potential conflict of interest was that she was also in a relationship with one of the partners. Thus she cut ties with the company:

Two months later, however, Omar sent an abrupt email to supporters announcing that she would cut ties with the firm. "So we've decided to terminate our contract with Tim and Will's firm," the email said. "While many of our close supporters know these two well and have recommended we keep them on — I want to make sure that anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support."
