Whistleblowers accuse Ilhan Omar's campaign of funneling money to her husband's firm

Whistleblowers are accusing Ilhan Omar's campaign of funneling a massive amount of money to her husband’s firm while Somali-linked networks in Minneapolis ran one of the biggest COVID relief fraud schemes in history, resulting in hundreds of millions stolen. This is corruption on steroids.

Previous investigations found no wrongdoing, but the whistleblowers might bring this up again and it could all go very bad for Ilhan Omar, who Trump wants thrown out of the country.

Allegations that Representative Ilhan Omar's campaign illegally funneled money to her husband's firm have been a recurring point of scrutiny, but an official investigation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) concluded in January 2022 found no evidence of wrongdoing.

A conservative watchdog group, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), filed a complaint in 2019 alleging that Omar's campaign committee, "Ilhan for Congress," paid her now-husband Tim Mynett's consulting firm, the E Street Group, for travel expenses that were personal in nature, essentially using campaign funds for an alleged affair. Over a period of several years, Omar's campaign paid the firm nearly $3 million for various services.

The FEC conducted an investigation and, in a unanimous 6-0 decision, found "no reason to believe" Omar's campaign "knowingly and willfully violated" federal law. The commission dismissed the complaint, though it did direct the campaign to amend some of their disbursement reports for improved clarity.

A spokesperson for Omar stated the FEC's decision "confirms what we've said from the beginning: This was a baseless effort by a right-wing group to smear the congresswoman." Omar herself called the decision "vindicated" but noted "the damage is done."

The issue continues to be a point of political attack, particularly by primary opponents and conservative commentators. As of December 2025, the allegations are being mentioned in the context of separate, large-scale COVID-relief fraud schemes in Minnesota, though Omar has not been directly linked to those criminal cases, and the initial campaign finance complaint was previously dismissed by the FEC. She hasn't been connected to it yet, but they are going to investigate even more now that the fraud has exploded.
