U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar violated state rules when she used campaign funds to pay for personal out-of-state travel and help on her tax returns and must reimburse her former campaign committee nearly $3,500, Minnesota campaign finance officials ruled Thursday.
The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board said the first-term Democratic congresswoman also must pay the state a $500 civil penalty for using campaign money to travel to Florida, where she accepted an honorarium.
The board found Omar’s campaign bought a plane ticket to Boston to speak at a political rally; paid for a hotel in Washington, D.C., where Omar participated in an interview for the Girl UP UN conference; and covered her travel to Chicago to accept an award and attend a fundraising luncheon, Minnesota Public Radio News reported.
Under state law, trips must be reasonably related to serving in office. Omar was a state representative from Minneapolis at the time of the violations. She was elected to the U.S. House last November.

This wasn’t the only part of their decision
it also cites her “issues” with filing taxes
She may have filed as many as 8 fraudulent tax returns by filing jointly with the guy who wasn’t her actual husband
yet, like Hillary and Obama she is walking around free today
Stone the bitch.
Well, I for one, am shocked she is less than honest. Shocked, I say!
No reasonable prosecutor would bring charges against omar. It’s the standard for democrats.
It should be obvious to everyone that his oversight board is severely anti-Islam.
...... Who cares ..... She's a "Protected Democrat Species" ..... Nothing can be done about it by us mere Constitutional Adherents ..........
Her moozlum friends probably would lop off her head .
If convicted she’s probably going to have to lose one hand at least.
She’s in the protected class she is free of any wrong doing
She’s in the protected class she is free of any wrong doing
Oh those horrible racists making BroFo be held accountable. Don’t they know she’s goat-f****r woman of color? No way she should have to be responsible for all of her “Benjamin’s.”
