The right-leaning National Legal and Policy Center filed an FEC complaint against Omar on Wednesday citing the money paid to Tim Mynett's firm.
WASHINGTON – Rep. Ilhan Omar has denied the latest allegations about her personal life that include claims lodged in a divorce filing by a woman who said Omar was dating her political consultant husband.
“No, I am not," she said."I have no interest in allowing the conversation about my personal life to continue and so I have no desire to discuss it."Omar did not comment to USA TODAY. Conservatives have latched on to the details, pointing to the more than $200,000 Omar has paid to Mynett and his consulting firm, E. Street Group, according to Federal Election Commission records.
The Daily Beast, which tracked how the rumors became mainstream, even being repeated by the president, concluded the issue has persisted in part because of Omar's complicated marital history, the lack of documents her family has and her resistance to talk about her marriages and the issue.
