Andrew Kerr writes for the Washington Free Beacon about the latest bad news for one of Congress’ worst members.
Is she just making it up as she goes along?
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D., Minn.) latest financial disclosures—now claiming her husband earned as little as $200 in 2025 from his two worthless companies—are contradicted by his own accountants, who wrote in 2025 that the companies are worth millions of dollars, according to a letter viewed this spring by the Wall Street Journal.
“She can’t keep her story straight,” said Paul Kamenar of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), which filed a formal complaint last year about Omar’s financial reporting. “There needs to be a full audit to straighten this out,” he told the Washington Free Beacon, adding that Omar “could face criminal charges for filing false and misleading disclosure reports.”
Omar’s newly released financial disclosure report says that her third and current husband, Tim Mynett, a political consultant turned entrepreneur, earned no more than $1,000 (and as little as $200) throughout all of 2025 from his two companies, a venture capital firm and a failed winery. Taken at face value, the latest disclosure reveals that Omar and Mynett are even more financially destitute than they were when she amended her 2024 financial disclosure in April. In that amended filing, she decreased the value of her husband’s two companies from up to $30 million down to $0, while simultaneously claiming the worthless companies distributed between $102,000 and $1 million to his pocketbook in 2024.
Omar’s wildly fluctuating statements of net worth have led to an investigation from the House Oversight Committee and have been the subject of florid denunciations from President Donald Trump, who called Omar “a fraud and a scam” in a May stump speech at The Villages in Florida.
