Ilhan Omar Berates Reporter as Scrutiny Over Revised Financial Disclosure Grows

Republicans cite the revised filing plus the viral exchange as reason to press for records from companies tied to her husband.

Overview

  • The Minnesota Democrat clashed with a LindellTV reporter in a Capitol hallway on Tuesday, calling her "stupid" and saying she would not tell her "jack sh*t."
  • An amended disclosure reported last week by the Wall Street Journal now places Omar and her husband's assets at $18,004 to $95,000, a steep drop from the earlier $6 million to $30 million range.
  • Omar’s office says the correction was voluntary and confirms she is not a millionaire, with the change coming after inquiries from the Office of Congressional Conduct were reported.
  • The update shows companies tied to her husband—Rose Lake Capital and a Santa Rosa winery—with no net value once debts are counted, a reminder that congressional filings list asset ranges and can reflect zero net worth when liabilities exceed assets.
  • House Republicans say committee probes continue, with GOP Whip Tom Emmer vowing accountability and investigators seeking business records tied to the couple’s ventures.
