The last time we checked in with Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar she was getting exposed by Sen. Joni Ernst over a million dollar earmark in her district, ostensibly intended as funding for an addiction center.
The problem with that is that apparently the "addiction center" is actually a Somali-run restaurant:
Ilhan Omar: “Can I get a $1 million earmark for a ‘substance abuse clinic’?”

Congress: “Sure!”
Ilhan Omar: “It’s really a restaurant run by Somalis”
Congress: ….
Earmarks are bad

This leads us into a Wall Street Journal story about Omar and her net worth.
Omar's most recent filing on the couple's net worth raised more than a few eyebrows:
This may have been the early signs of problems in Minnesota

According to her most recent filing, Ilhan Omar's net worth is estimated to be ~$30M
That's a 66,000% increase since 2019
The increase appears to be from her husband who started a Venture Capital firm in 2022 which… pic.twitter.com/S0DzS9dPYF
That is, as they say, a red flag!
Omar was recently asked about that and said an adjustment was possible:
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
Right on cue, Omar is reportedly filing documents to adjust that number downward, blaming an "accounting error," according to the Wall Street Journal:
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

Nothing to see here! Who among us can only say that they're worth somewhere between $18,000 and $30 million but nothing more specific?
Oh that’s not suspicious at all! 🤦🏻♀️

Maybe Kash Patel's team can help Omar pin down an actual number.
One final thing:
What is she reporting to the IRS?

That's the question that really matters. Stay tuned.
