Rep. Ilhan Omar is fined for repeatedly violating Minnesota campaign finance rules by improperly using funds for personal travel and for a lawyer to make corrections to her tax returns
2019-06-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board on Thursday ordered Ilhan Omar to reimburse her campaign $3,469.23 and to pay $500 civil fine

  • Finding stems from her campaign committee spending as a state representative

  • Board says she formed a 'crisis committee' in 2016 to respond to claims that she 'was actually married to her brother as part of an immigration scheme'

  • Board found part of the spending went to fix errors on her personal tax return

  • Regulators also concluded travel spending for multiple trips was improper

  • Omar has vehemently denied that she was ever married to her brother

#11  So to be clear, either she married her brother for real to get him ad mission to the US and committed bigamy, not to mention mususe of campaign funds, or the marriage certificate is phony and she committed tax fraud? And she isn't in handcuffs because.......oh wait, she's a Magic democrat, muslim POC and they have special exemptions from the rule of law?

#10  They've a bit lazy lately... They'll probably just say Trump's name like the magic talisman they believe it to be, several dozen times, at complete random in the article. Grammar and reading comprehension are racist you know.

#6  Looks like (at a minimum) it was falsely claiming to be married on two tax returns when she wasn't married.
