From $1,000 to $25 Million: The Financial Architecture Around Ilhan Omar
A cross-referencing investigation of FEC records, financial disclosures, corporate filings, SEC databases, and archived websites reveals how $2.98 million in campaign funds flowed to Rep. Omar's husband's firm, how replacement vendors have almost no other clients, how a venture capital firm went from $42 to $25 million with no SEC registration while claiming $60 billion in assets under management, and how nine advisor names -- including former ambassadors and the man who ran the Democratic Party's bank -- were scrubbed from the firm's website as investigations closed in.
