Turns out Ilhan Omar, didn’t just marry her brother and violate immigration laws and is anti-Semitic. Turns out she’s pretty corrupt too when it comes to campaign finance laws. That’s why there is an investigation going on of Ilhan Omar and her misuse of campaign funds. Who couldn’t have seen this coming? One of the complaints allege that Ilhan Omar improperly spent close to $6,000 in campaign funds for personal use.

Zielinski sought to use the campaign finance allegations against Omar during a debate they held in the studios of Minnesota Public Radio on Oct. 23 of last year. Moderator Tom Crann picked up the issue, posing a series of questions to Omar about the complaints. Omar said Drazkowski was “bigoted” and said she had at that point not received any notification from the campaign finance board as to whether it was formally investigating Drazkowski’s complaints. Asked three times by Crann if she had misused campaign funds for travel, however, Omar hesitated before replying in a halting manner: “If there was, um — [pauses] — an, an improper action, I would not have used it.”
Omar has said elsewhere that the payments to her divorce lawyer reflected compensation for legal services rendered to one of her state campaigns. In an editorial published Oct.12, the Minnesota Star-Tribune called on Omar to provide more information about her campaign spending, saying “Fifth District voters deserve a fuller response” on the travel allegations.
Sources close to the investigative process in the North Star State told Sinclair the campaign finance board has completed its review of both complaints filed by Drazkowski, relating to the divorce lawyer and the travel expenses, and will issue its rulings on them within the next month to six weeks.
