Rep. Ilhan Omar Claims Accounting Error Made It Appear Net Worth Exploded

Representative Ilhan Omar says she and her husband aren't secretly sitting on millions despite what her financial paperwork seemed to show ... blaming an accounting error for the confusion.

Here’s the deal ... Omar's 2024 financial disclosure -- not a tax return -- listed her and husband Tim Mynett's assets somewhere between $6 million and $30 million, a huge jump from the previous year that raised plenty of eyebrows online.

An accountant allegedly listed several of Mynett's business interests as full assets without factoring in liabilities inflating the couple's apparent net worth. Omar's team says she didn't catch the error because she’s not directly involved in those businesses and relied on the filing being done correctly.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the disclosure has since been amended, and Omar now reports a net worth between roughly $18K and $95K ... a huge drop from the original filing.

The updated paperwork also reflects income tied to those assets, along with reported student loan and credit card debt.

President Donald Trump has tried to paint Representative Omar as a fraudster benefitting from an alleged welfare scam in her home state. Omar has repeatedly denied the allegations and fired back by saying the prez is obsessed with her.

The Office of Congressional Conduct -- a nonpartisan agency that looks into possible misconduct by members of Congress -- sent a letter to Omar last month demanding answers about the filing ... which her attorney immediately responded was due to the mistake.
