We Just Learned the Biden DOJ Investigated Ilhan Omar's Finances, Too
Amy Curtis
Last week, the House Oversight Committee announced it was opening an investigation into Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the surge in her net worth. When Omar took office, herfinancial disclosure documents showed a negative net worth of $65,000. Now, she reports having a net worth anywhere between $6 and $30 million.
Speculation is that much of it comes from her husband's Obama-connected venture capital business, Rose Lake Capital, which was almost worthless in 2022 and now manages more than $60 billion in assets.
Yesterday, when President Trump announced that he was sending Tom Homan into Minnesota, and that Congress is looking into Omar's net worth, Omar responded, writing on X, "Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you're panicking. Right on cue, you're deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of 'investigations' have found nothing. Get your goons out of Minnesota."
Well, it's clear the DOJ thought there was something fishy with Omar's finances, because the Biden DOJ was also looking into Omar.

Here's more:
The Justice Department under the Biden administration opened an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, in 2024 to scrutinize her finances, campaign spending and interactions with a foreign citizen, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The inquiry, initiated by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the department’s public integrity unit in June of that year, appears to have stalled for lack of evidence, according to one of the people who requested anonymity to discuss internal department matters.
The investigation appeared to be thrust into the public spotlight on Monday, when President Trump blindsided department officials by posting about it on Truth Social, singling out Ms. Omar. It was part of a rambling statement announcing a shake-up of the team overseeing immigration raids in Ms. Omar’s Minneapolis district that misspelled her name.
The Biden DOJ was notorious for going after Republicans, including the Arctic Frost scandal, and they'd leave no stone unturned when there was an (R) after someone's name. Is there a "lack of evidence" from Ilhan Omar's finances because she's that smart, or because the Biden DOJ didn't dig deep enough to find it?
