Ethics Office Clears Omar Over Inflated Wealth Filing

Rep. Ilhan Omar has been cleared of wrongdoing over a financial disclosure that overstated her household's wealth by millions of dollars.

The Office of Congressional Conduct, the nonpartisan body that reviews misconduct allegations against House members and staff, voted 5-1 to recommend the House Ethics Committee dismiss the allegation that the Minnesota Democrat filed false or incomplete financial information, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The board found there was not substantial reason to believe Omar knowingly reported false or incomplete information.

The Numbers

A 2025 disclosure listed the assets of Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, at between $6 million and $30 million — far above her previous filings, according to TMZ's account of the Journal's reporting.

Omar later amended the filing, cutting the range to between $18,004 and $95,000. Her aides described the original figures as major accounting errors.

The discrepancy centered on businesses tied to Mynett, including a venture-capital firm and a California winery. They were first listed as worth $6 million to $30 million, but the amended filing showed no net value once liabilities were counted.

Her most recent disclosure, filed in May, lists assets of between $20,005 and $125,000, along with student-loan and credit-card debt.
