Ilhan Omar's accountant's dog ate his worksheet, evidently

Ilhan Omar without makeup and sleep

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Anti-Semite-MN) announced she is not a millionaire after all and pinned the whole thing on a hilarious "major accounting error" once a congressional financial disclosure pegged her assets as high as $30 million and sparked awkward questions from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.

An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal revealed that the far-left so called Squad member and her husband's assets were actually somewhere between $18,004 and $95,000, which represented a pretty steep plunge from the earlier disclosure that had them sitting pretty between $6 million and $30 million.

"The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Omar spokesperson comrade Jacklyn Rogers told the Journal, adding that the filing was corrected "as soon as the discrepancy was identified" [and reasonable accusations were made by Republicans who noticed her incredible new-found inexplicable wealth].

The revised disclosure arrived after the Office of Congressional Conduct politely asked for more information earlier this year, according to the Journal.

Omar's attorney explained in a letter to the watchdog that the wildly inaccurate filing was totally unintentional and simply the result of trusting those fancy accountants. "Perhaps it was a dog to blame who ate her accountant's worksheet," some on the left said in her defense.

"As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings," the attorney wrote, according to the Journal. "While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred." It is not known whether or not her lawyer is associated with CAIR or any other untoward group.

The amended filing shows Omar reported between $102,503 and $1,005,200 in income in 2024 from assets she and her latest husband own, according to the Journal. Documentation attached to the attorney's letter showed $213,200 in distributions to her husband from his venture capital management firm and $3,000 from an un-Islamic winery.

A 2025 email between Omar's husband and his accountant valued the venture capital firm at $7.9 million and the un-Islamic winery at $1.5 million, though he owns roughly one-third of both businesses, according to tax documents cited by the Journal.

The updated disclosure also shows Omar has between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loan debt and a similar amount in credit card debt which she has not paid.

The massive discrepancy had already drawn sharp scrutiny from House Republicans, who wondered aloud how such an enormous swing in reported assets managed to sail through without anyone noticing.

In a February letter to Omar's latest husband, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) raised concerns about financial disclosures showing the value of two companies, eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital, had magically surged from tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. The chances of that happening without anyone immediately noticing is about as likely as finding Don Lemon in bed with Rep. Omar.

Comer said the sudden increase "raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence," and requested financial records tied to the businesses.

Omar's office pushed back, describing Comer's request as "a political stunt" and part of a campaign "meant to fundraise, not real oversight," according to The Associated Press. 

So it's a political stunt when the GOP notices what appears to be improprieties, but not when the shoe is on the other foot. Now that is what is known as politics.

Her most recent husband: definitely not her brother this time

A 2025 financial disclosure filing had previously listed Omar's latest husband's business interests in the millions, including an un-Islamic winery valued between $1 million and $5 million and a venture capital firm valued between $5 million and $25 million.

Those valuations were later revised in the amended filing, with the businesses listed as having no net value once liabilities were factored in, according to the Journal.

Omar, an anti-Semite originally from Somalia and member of the "Squad," has frequently clashed with President Donald Trump since first being elected in 2018 and has long been a target of Republican criticism because of her pro-Somalia/anti-American stance.

Trump has suggested that Omar benefited from Minnesota's sprawling welfare fraud scandal involving many people from the Somali community, a claim she has denied.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton weighed in on the amended filing, questioning how previously unreported liabilities somehow vaporized millions in reported assets:

"Ilhan Omar says her congressional financial reports have massive accounting error," Fitton wrote on X. She and her husband only worth 18k-86k, NOT $6 million-$30 million! Previously unreported 'liabilities' erase wealth!"
