MINNEAPOLIS — Rep. Ilhan Omar dodged questions on Thursday about her alleged affair with a DC political consultant who’s on her payroll.

The freshman Democratic congresswoman appeared ahead of a scheduled event at the University of Minnesota when a Post reporter asked her about claims she broke up the marriage of Tim and Beth Mynett.

But instead of answering, Omar nervously made a beeline to make small talk with a police officer who was standing outside the campus’ Mayo Memorial Auditorium.

She then headed inside for the packed event about “Black Maternal Health” with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).

In a divorce filing this week, Beth Mynett, 55, claimed her marriage crumbled in April after her cheating husband told her “he was in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar.”

The jilted spouse said Tim Mynett, 38, and Omar, 37, met when he began working for the Minnesota legislator as part of her political consulting team.

It’s unclear when the alleged extramarital affair began.

Omar has paid Tim Mynett’s E Street Group consulting firm $230,000 since 2018 — raising concerns of potential ethics violations.
