Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar‘s big spending behind the scenes is under scrutiny after a wild million-dollar ‘mistake’ on her financial disclosure form.
Now, there is increased scrutiny on her expenses. As a member of the progressive ‘Squad,’ Omar, from Minnesota, has been a vocal advocate of defunding the police.
Despite that, she’s spent $168,575 campaign dollars on security services since 2017, per Federal Election Commission Records.
Notably, in her first campaign from 2017 to 2018, that number was zero. The first expenses came during the 2019-2020 campaign cycle
That security spending number is potentially double the amount of total assets revealed to be shared by Omar and her current husband whom she married in 2020, Tim Mynett, in their amended financial disclosure.
After a flurry of scrutiny, Omar and Mynett revealed that they share a total amount of assets between $18,004 to $95,000.
That is a stark difference from the range of assets estimated between $6 million and $30 million that the duo filed in a previous financial disclosure.
Congressional financial disclosures do not contain exact amounts, only ranges. Omar was scrutinized by the non-partisan Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) for the initial error-filled filing.
I wonder how many head wraps the woman has. I’ve never seen her wear one more than once.
