Open Secrets data suggest that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) campaign has paid E Street Group, a consulting company owned by her husband Tim Mynett, a total of more than $878,000 since 2018.
“The arrangement is possible because of a 1960s federal anti-nepotism statute that prohibits members of Congress from hiring relatives for government jobs but does not block family members from doing campaign work” said Richard Painter, a former chief ethics lawyer from the administration of former President George W. Bush told The New York Post.
