CONFIRMED: Ilhan Omar Facing Campaign Finance Violation Probe. Here Are The Complaints Filed Against Her.
By Amanda Prestigiacomo, Daily Wire, April 1, 2019
Sinclair reporter James Rosen confirmed Monday morning that authorities recently completed investigations into two complaints concerning campaign finance violations against Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Story continues below advertisementThe two complaints against the controversial figure were filed last year by Minnesota state lawmaker Rep. Steve Drazkowski, a Republican. Drazkowski claims Omar spent thousands of dollars on a divorce attorney and personal travel expenses.
“In referring Omar to the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board, Drazkowski alleged that Omar improperly spent close to $6,000 in campaign funds for personal use, including payments to her divorce attorney and for travel to Boston and Estonia,” says the report.
Rosen notes that Drazkowski’s filings follow “an earlier episode in which Omar repaid $2,500 for honoraria she received for speeches at colleges that receive state funding, a violation of ethics rules for Minnesota lawmakers.”
“I had observed a long pattern,” said Drazkowski. “Representative Omar hasn’t followed the law. She’s repeatedly trampled on the laws of the state in a variety of areas, and gotten by with it.”
The Republican lawmaker maintained that Omar has been allowed to skate in the face of her controversial actions by strategically using her identity as a shield.
“There’s a political fear that people have of being called a name, being called a bigot, being called racist, being called Islamophobic,” he said.
When Omar was questioned about the probe into the alleged finance violations on Thursday, she refused to respond. Earlier this year, the Democrat denied the alleged indiscretions, though the complaints were still unconfirmed to the public at the time.
“The Omar Committee’s 2017 year-end report shows several noncampaign disbursements for out-of-state travel for Rep. Omar to attend various events,” reads a notification allegedly from the finance board posted on Drazkowski’s website.
“The information on the committee’s 2017 year-end report does not indicate how attendance at these events would have helped Rep. Omar in the performance of her legislative duties,” another notification says.
The results of the investigations are expected to soon be released, Sinclair reports.
Despite her many controversies, Omar has become a key figure for the Democrat Party.
The Democrat has found herself under fire on more than one occasion for past and present comments she’s made about Jews and Israel. In March, for example, Omar suggested Jewish Americans have “dual loyalty” after she was criticized for past comments perceived as anti-Semitic.
“Lawmakers must be able to debate w/o prejudice or bigotry. I am saddened that Rep. Omar continues to mischaracterize support for Israel. I urge her to retract this statement and engage in further dialogue with the Jewish community on why these comments are so hurtful,” said Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), who is Jewish.
“Our democracy is built on debate, Congresswoman!” Omar responded on Twitter. “I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee. The people of the 5th elected me to serve their interest. I am sure we agree on that!”

Doesn’t Rashida Tlaib also have a problem with undeclared SOROS money used to finance her campaign?
Watch them try to hide behind their politically correct identity and scream you are PHOBIC or a RACIST!
Who isn’t tired of that?
With MUSLIM Keith Ellison, he will probably be stopped. Omar replaced Keith Ellison as he became the AG.
Minnesota maybe our first calipHATE.

Don’t they let them all go? Never hear about the endings, just the beginning of the stories. They wouldn’t tell the whole story even if they knew it….that’s the media for ya…tell the accusations, and when they turn out to be true …just forget it.

“When Omar was questioned about the probe into the alleged finance violations on Thursday, she refused to respond.” So, that’s how the left and filthy islamists get away with everything that they do. They just ignore, ignore, ignore. Until it goes away. Let’s hope it doesn’t this time. There’s too much at stake.

It will be just like the accusations against a.o.c. and her money problems…..nothing to see here folks….just move on. They will never have to pay for the wrongs they do, and we won’t hear the tale of why they don’t have to pay up as we would have to.

I understand she divorced her number one husband the islamic way. All they have to do is say; “I DIVORCE YOU” three times.
HOWEVER, while in America – – these mohamMADans MUST follow the Constitutional SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND! This makes her an adulterer!! JAIL TIME IS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!! Also, since a LIE was told to the Immigration Office – – DEPORTATION IS REQUIRED!!

Afraid of following the law and insisting everyone else do the same? Do you not know how much support you will garner if you stand up? We’re sick of people getting by because they twist everything around so they can convince people they are being picked on. They are the culprits here, not the victims. If they break the law, remove them from office and send them to jail! Enough!

Why did she need a divorce lawyer ?? All her brother/husband needed to do was chant “I divorce you” 3 times and….POOF….just like that, they are divorced according to the laws they follow. Not the US laws, but sharia…..

Support Steve Drazkowski.That brave man is going to need all the help he can get once the little jihadess sets her hounds of hell on him. But listen guys, WE NEED TO STAND AGAINST THIS, just like Pamela does.(Thank you Pamela!) If we all took a stand and started DEMANDING these crimes get handled then they will be. Look at Judge Jeanine. Fox caved in when she spoke the truth about this traitor, people threatened to boycott Fox until she was brought back and guess what? After two weeks she’s got her show back. That’s how we do it. We’ve got to get off our lazy butts and take our country back.

This is so, so disappointing!. I was happy that someone muslim, of Islamic faith,
would be elected to office in our Government. I supported ilhan omar
and firmly believed that she was going to prove to all of us (including
myself) that they (muslims) love this country, believe in the freedom of our
people/country and lead with integrity.
But I have been sorely disappointed and proven wrong.
Ms omar is a racist, lacks integrity and now she may even be a thief?
She (omar) probably doesn’t understand the magnificent opportunity
she has squandered. Sad, very, very sad.
