Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) re-election campaign paid nearly $2.8 million to a political consultancy firm owned by Omar’s husband in just two years, according to government data.

Campaign finance records from the Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) website suggest that the Democrat congresswoman paid husband Timothy Mynett’s eStreet Group $1.6 million between 2019 and July 2020, before giving another $1.1 million in the third quarter this year.
