Ilhan Omar is claiming the $30 million “error” on her congressional financial disclosures was a simple mistake — but lawmakers aren’t buying it.
They point to the Democratic firebrand and her current husband’s curious history of making money conveniently appear and disappear when it suits them, at least on paper.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said Omar could be hit with felony charges if she is found to have lied about the cash.
Minnesota Rep. Omar’s financial disclosures for 2024, filed last year, initially valued her husband Tim Mynett’s businesses at between $6 million and $30 million.
This week Omar claimed she and Mynett’s net worth wasn’t actually tens of millions of dollars after all, and they actually have less than $100,000 combined, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Omar’s office told the newspaper valuations of Mynett’s companies — a winery in California and venture capital firm registered in Delaware — were made in error, and blamed their accountant.
When asked about the discrepancies by a Lindell TV reporter Wednesday, Omar retorted: “I think you’re stupid for asking me anything. I don’t want to tell you jack s–t. How about that?”
