Minnesota U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar finalizes divorce

Minnesota U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar officially ended her marriage to husband Ahmed Hirsi on Tuesday, scarcely a month after she petitioned for a divorce citing an "irretrievable breakdown" in their marriage.

The Minneapolis Democrat filed for divorce from Hirsi in early October, about a month after a Washington, D.C., physician alleged that her husband left her after becoming romantically involved with Omar, a client of his political consulting business. Both Omar and the consultant, Tim Mynett, have denied an affair.
