Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Legislative Branch

Jeremy Slevin, a spokesman for Rep. Ilhan Omar, released the following statement after the Office of Congressional Ethics voted unanimously to dismiss a false allegation about Rep. Omar's book royalties, and the Committee on Ethics announced that they will not further review the matter.

"We are glad the Office of Congressional Ethics voted unanimously to dismiss another completely fabricated claim against Rep. Omar. As the Congresswoman has stated and disclosed repeatedly: she received no advance from her book, in line with other Members of Congress who have written books and Congressional Ethics rules. It is a shame that rightwing groups continue to waste the time and resources of the Office and the Committee with dishonest and spurious claims against the Congresswoman."
