The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar has updated congressional disclosure documents to make a small adjustment to the amount of money she's worth.
Also, the "adjustment" is anything but a small one:
Rep. Ilhan Omar filed documents with Congress saying her wealth was between $6 million and $30 million. Now she says that was a mistake, and her wealth is actually between $18,000 and $95,000. That's quite a difference. From @WSJ: https://t.co/nSSy3WUrNW

Omar explained what she expected to do not very long ago:
Omar was asked about the $6-30M net worth figures a few days ago:

“It's not a full picture of the numbers in the way that it is presented in the document because we have to do a range."
"I'm pretty sure it'll get, like, adjusted at some level when those ranges are looked at." https://t.co/aCDiSZHCEM pic.twitter.com/KrH6zFOjqQ
Let's just say that Omar hasn't exactly earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to alleged "mistakes."
Who among us hasn't made a $6 million to $30 million error in estimating our net worth for disclosure documents? https://t.co/wDgy2ZZYDq

Yeah, who hasn't made that "error" before? We can't help but wonder what number the IRS has.
For a dramatization. @BurtMaclin_FBI went back a bit for a clip of what Omar and her accountants might have been saying:
