Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) says she isn’t as wealthy as previous financial disclosures showed — a claim which prompted calls for investigations from President Donald Trump and House Republicans.
Omar disclosed last year that she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million, which represented a massive rise in wealth from her previous annual filing.
However, Omar now is blaming the filings showing she had quickly become very rich on major accounting errors, according to a report yesterday in the Wall Street Journal.
An amended filing viewed by the Journal shows that she and her husband’s assets to be only $18,004 to $95,000. Disclosure forms don’t require exact values, only broad ranges.
Omar’s husband Tim Mynett, a former political consultant, is involved in several businesses, according to the disclosure forms. They include a venture-capital management firm in Washington, D.C. and a winery in Santa Rosa, California.
Previously, their worth was listed between $6 million and $30 million. But in the amended filing they are shown to have no value once liabilities are included, the Journal reported.
So how much is her house worth and is it paid for?
Better yet, if her net worth is so low and her credit card and student loans might be $ 50K each, how did she get approved for a home. What info did she and her husband put on her credit applications? How does one misrepresent their assets by MILLLIONS?
Ohhh sure! Righttttttttttt!!!
