Ilhan Omar's New Magic Filing Trick: $30M Disappears Faster Than Her Principles
By Ward Clark | 4:00 PM on April 18, 2026
In a stunning performance that would have any stage magician green with envy, the amazing sudden wealth of Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar (MN-05) has evaporated, like dandelion fluff on a windy summer's day.
The Squad member claims that the $30 million in wealth supposedly in the hands of her and her husband was just a mistake in accounting records.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said she is not a millionaire and blamed a major accounting error after a congressional financial disclosure listing her assets as high as $30 million drew scrutiny from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.
An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal shows Omar and her husband’s assets were between $18,004 and $95,000, a sharp drop from an earlier disclosure that estimated their holdings between $6 million and $30 million.
"The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the Journal, adding that the filing was corrected "as soon as the discrepancy was identified."
Uh huh.
Now, from (let's be fair) between $8 million and $30 million, to somewhere between $18,004 (seems oddly specific) and $95,000, that's quite a mistake. Any accountant making a mistake that grand should be discharged. Also, are we to believe that Ilhan Omar and her venture capitalist husband never saw the initial report, which was horrendously in error? Are we really supposed to believe that? Imagine your accountant coming to you with paperwork showing your net worth at $30 million - wouldn't you stop and say, "Hey, wait just a doggone minute here, I'm not that rich!"
Sorry, Ms. Omar, but my horse squeeze detector is off the scale right now.
