State lawmaker, conservative group call for ethics probe of @IlhanMN nypost.com/2019/07/23/sta… via @nypost
Republican Steve Drazkowski was joined Tuesday by the conservative group Judicial Watch in calling on the ethics committee to probe Omar, who has also been accused of marrying her brother.
The two parties claimed their requests were not coordinated. They both cite social media posts made by Omar in recent months — after she took office — as well as address records and unidentified sources in the Somali-American community, of which she’s a member.
The accusations of wrongdoing being hurled at the freshman congresswoman include immigration fraud, illegal tax filings and campaign finance fraud.
Drazkowski (R-Mazeppa) has been successful in the past when filing complaints against Omar.
Just last month, he managed to prove that she violated state rules by using campaign funds to pay for personal out-of-state travel expenses while she was still a state lawmaker.

The lawmaker also uncovered joint tax returns filed under Omar and her husband’s name before they were legally married.
Omar had to reimburse her former campaign committee to the tune of nearly $3,500 as a result.

“The mounting evidence here is getting to the point where it’s just hard to not see the fact that there is something solidly, completely wrong here,” Drazkowski said Tuesday, according to MPR News.
