Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. hasn’t been in Congress for very long — and she can’t stop embarrassing herself.
As one of the first-year Congresswomen known as “the Squad,” Omar has been accused of immigration fraud and being anti-Semitic.
Israel recently refused to let her enter the country.
But that all may be child’s play compared to what Omar is facing now.

Omar is being accused of potentially serious… and criminal… campaign finance violations.
It’s a potential “sex and cash” scandal that could end Omar’s political career for good.
In divorce papers filed in a Washington, D.C. court, Beth Mynett says her husband, Tim Mynett, admitted to having an affair with Omar shortly before the Mynetts separated earlier this year.
Affairs in Washington are nothing new. But here’s where things get sticky for Omar…
Federal election records show that Omar’s campaign has paid Tim Mynett’s consulting group $230,000 for fundraising and communications services, as well as travel expenses, since 2018.

And according to the divorce filings, that travel may have been more about romance than legitimate campaign work.
“Defendant’s more recent travel and long work hours now appear to be more related to his affair with Representative Omar than with his actual work commitments,” the court filing read.
According to government ethics watchdog Tom Anderson of the National Legal and Policy Center, that could represent a serious campaign finance violation.
“We believe Representative Ilhan Omar may have touched the third rail of campaign finance law: disbursing campaign funds for personal use,” Anderson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It’s a brazen act Representative Omar was caught doing before in Minnesota and all of the evidence we’ve seen tells us she’s probably doing it again.”
Expect more news of the alleged affair and potential legal repercussions in the coming days.

In the meantime, this all spells more trouble for Omar — a politician who just can’t seem to avoid it.
