Ilhan Omar received a hefty book advance for the book she wrote and had it been any other person things would have gone fine, they would have received their advance and it would have been done. Had it been another Congressman they would have reported it and it would have been fine, but now Omar. Ilhan Omar has allegedly failed to notify the House Ethics Committee of this, something anyone in Congress has to do prior to taking on any advance of money for copyright royalties prior to the House Ethics Committee reviewing the contract.
