Ilhan Omar's campaign cash to consultants dipped by millions after halting payments to husband's firm
Fox News
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's consultant payments fell by millions of dollars after she stopped paying her husband's firm following increased scrutiny over the money.
But after facing increased scrutiny over the payments, Omar abruptly changed course from her once defiant state and cut off the cash flow to the E Street group shortly before the switch into the 2022 cycle. Now, her campaign pays far less for the same services to various other firms, calling into question the high nature of the E Street Group's past charges.

Following her husband's firm's removal, Omar's expenses towards similar services fell by around $2 million, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings.
