House Republicans launch investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar's finances: report

House Republicans probe Rep. Ilhan Omar's household assets surge to nearly $30 million in one year amid concerns over financial disclosures and possible ethics violations.

  • This past week, House Republicans opened an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, Democrat who represents Minnesota, amid concerns about her 'skyrocketing family wealth,' with House Oversight Committee staff attorneys leading the early-stage review, The New York Post reported.
  • Republicans say the inquiry stems from Omar's household assets increasing significantly in recent years, with GOP highlighting an 'explosion of wealth' and alleged convicted fraudsters funding her campaign.
  • Investigators will examine disclosure filings, outside income and business ties while House Oversight Committee lawyers consider subpoenaing Tim Mynett over his allegedly shady business practices, and federal law enforcement conducts a separate probe.
  • Any findings would be referred to the House Ethics Committee or federal authorities, with Republicans framing the probe as enforcing ethics rules while Democrats call it politically motivated; Rep. Tom Emmer and Rep. James Comer support the inquiry.
  • The Post reported that Omar and Mynett 'went from nearly broke to being worth up to $9 billion in just a year,' citing 2024 disclosure documents, with questions about Mynett's wealth over two years.
