Woman Accuses Husband of Cheating on Her with Ilhan Omar in Explosive Divorce Document
August 27, 2019

The wife of a Washington, D.C.-area political consultant says in a divorce filing that her husband is having an affair with Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The bombshell claim, reported by the New York Post, was made in divorce papers filed Tuesday in D.C. Superior Court by Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett.


In the divorce filing, she claims her husband, Tim Mynett, acknowledged the affair in April and made a “shocking declaration of love” for Omar before leaving his wife.

“The parties physically separated on or about April 7, 2019, when Defendant told Plaintiff that he was romantically involved with and in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar,” court documents say.

Beth Mynett, a physician, reportedly told her husband, who she has been married to since 2012, that she still wanted to work things out. But he wasn’t having it.

Tim Mynett is a political consultant who has previously worked for other progressive Democrats in addition to Omar, the Post reported.

“The 37-year-old congresswoman and mom of three paid Tim Mynett and his E. Street Group approximately $230,000 through her campaign since 2018 for fundraising consulting, digital communications, internet advertising and travel expenses,” the outlet said.

Caught in the middle of it all is the Mynetts’ 13-year-old son, of whom Beth Mynett is seeking primary physical custody. She believes Tim Mynett’s relationship with Omar could have an adverse effect on their son.

“Defendant’s more recent travel and long work hours now appear to be more related to his affair with Rep. Omar than with his actual work commitments,” according to court papers.

“Days prior to Defendant’s devastating and shocking declaration of love for Rep. Omar and admission of their affair, he and Rep. Omar took the parties’ son to dinner in order to formally meet for the first time at the family’s favorite neighborhood restaurant while Plaintiff was out of town,” the papers add.

“Rep. Omar gave the parties’ son a gift and the Defendant later brought her back inside the family’s home.”

That’s not all.

Beth Mynett believes Tim “put his son in harm’s way” by letting him be seen in public with Omar, “who at that time garnered a plethora of media attention along with death threats.”

In addition to primary custody of their son, Beth Mynett is “seeking full control of the couple’s DC home, child support and legal fees,” the Post reported, citing the divorce filing.

The news comes more than a month after a July report claimed Omar and her own husband had split up.

“Omar has now dumped her current husband Ahmed Hirsi — who she first married in a religious ceremony in 2002 and divorced in 2008 — and moved into a penthouse apartment in one of Minneapolis’s trendiest neighborhoods,” the U.K. Daily Mail reported.

Watchdog Says Records Show Ilhan Omar's Alleged Affair May Have Led to Violations of Campaign Finance Law

Federal Election Commission records reveal that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign paid thousands of dollars for “travel expenses” to a political consulting firm where a man she’s been linked to romantically serves as a partner.

According to one ethics watchdog, the Minnesota congresswoman may have violated campaign finance laws in the process.

Tim Mynett is a partner at E Street Group, according to his LinkedIn profile.

And FEC records uncovered by The Daily Caller News Foundation reveal Omar’s campaign has paid out $21,547 to E Street Group for “travel expenses” since April, the same month Mynett allegedly admitted to the affair.

This is relevant because Beth Mynett takes note in the divorce filing of her husband’s “extensive travel” with Omar, which she does not believe has always been work-related.

“Defendant’s more recent travel and long work hours now appear to be more related to his affair with Rep. Omar than with his actual work commitments,” court papers say.

So what does it all mean?

Well, if Omar used campaign money to pursue a romantic relationship, then she may have violated campaign finance laws, says Tom Anderson of the conservative National Legal and Policy Center.

“We believe Representative Ilhan Omar may have touched the third rail of campaign finance law: disbursing campaign funds for personal use,” Anderson told The DCNF.

“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,” Anderson added.

Omar has gotten into hot water when it comes to her campaign finances before, as she was previously fined for improperly using campaign money to travel to Florida.
