U.S. Rep. Omar, D-Minnesota, Files New Financial Report Amid Controversy
Minnesota U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, has rewritten her financial statement for Congress, saying that her husband’s firm has no money whatsoever.
In a financial report meant to cover 2024, the Minnesota Democrat claimed that she and her husband controlled between $6 million and $30 million in assets.
Those figures that raised eyebrows as conservatives honed in on allegations of fraud, both with her and the Somali community in Minnesota.
Investigators have found rampant misuse of federal government funds among Somalis in Minnesota.
In a 2025 report reviewed by Fox News Digital, however, Omar revised the value of her and her spouse’s assets down to, at most, $125,000.
Taking the lower-end estimate of Omar’s assets as reported in the disclosure — just $20,000 — and comparing it against both the low and high estimates of her debt — $30,000 and $100,000, respectively — would leave the congresswoman with a negative net worth.
Congressional financial disclosures report broad ranges, so the filings do not establish a precise net worth.
Her husband has between $15,000 and $50,000 of credit card debt. The congresswoman has a student loan balance also worth between $15,000 and $50,000.
