The Minnesota lawmaker also paid $12,000 bimonthly sums to her husband’s firm. Other lofty expenditures included a payment of over $38,000 for direct mail and over $44,000 for mail advertising and production.
Mynett, who was previously married, worked on Omar’s campaign during the 2018 midterm election cycle and began an affair with the Minnesota Democrat, who was also married at the time. Mynett and his wife, according to a divorce filing, wound up separating by April 2019 and divorced that December. Last March, Omar and Mynett married .
Questions previously arose about the campaign's filings back on June 30 when FEC records showed that the E Street Group took in $1.04 million of her $2.59 million in operating expenditures, which meant that 40% of every dollar contributed to Omar's war chest ended up in the bank account of her husband’s firm.
