(Jewish Insider) During her time in Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has frequently voiced concern over the influence of foreign interests on American politics — most controversially with regard to the pro-Israel community in the U.S.
But when she visited Qatar last November to watch the World Cup, it was unclear who had paid for the trip, which the progressive lawmaker neglected to clarify. Her office did not answer questions from the New York Times in December about the funding source after she had returned.
It turns out that the trip was funded by the Qatari government, according to an annual House financial disclosure filed in May.
