Rep. Ilhan Omar blames discrepancy on financial disclosures listing $30M net worth insists shes not a millionaire
Minnesota Rep.Ilhan Omar blamed an accounting “discrepancy” for errors in a financial disclosure that listed her net worth at up to $30 million – while doubling down that she is not a millionaire, a report said.The lefty “Squad” lawmaker – facing fraud probe calls from President Trump – insisted the initial figures in a disclosure filed last May were completely off-base, as an amended filing now shows shared assets with her husband of up to just $95,000, according to The Wall Street Journal.“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” her spokesperson, Jacklyn Rogers, told the outlet.“The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”The original disclosure signaled a striking surge in income, listing that Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, held assets valued between $6 million and $30 million – a roughly 3,500% jump in net worth from 2023 to 2024.The inflated figures stemmed from Mynett’s two businesses – a Santa Rosa, California-based winery and a venture capital firm headquartered in Washington, DC.The winery’s assets were valued at between $1 million and $5 million, while the DC firm, Rose Lake Capital, was valued at between $5 million and $25 million by the end of 2024.By comparison, the winery, eStCru LLC, was valued at just $15,000 to $50,000 in the congresswoman’s prior disclosure, while the venture capital firm showed less than $1,000 in assets in 2023. The amended filing, reviewed by the Journal, put the couple’s assets at $18,004 to $95,000.While the juiced-up numbers sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill, fueling scrutiny over her reported skyrocketing wealth and speculation she was a secret millionaire, aides of Omar said she reviewed the filing before submission but didn’t flag the staggering errors. They said the glaring mistake was missed because the 43-year-old pol is not involved in her husband’s businesses...
