U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office is reviewing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s financial disclosure forms after reported values for her husband’s businesses jumped sharply, while a separate federal investigation continues and House Republicans keep pressing the matter.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told Fox News on Tuesday that her office is examining Rep. Ilhan Omar’s recent financial disclosure filings, adding another layer to a case that has become deeply entangled in partisan attacks and political theater. The review follows a reported increase in the valuation of two businesses linked to Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, from as low as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.
"Our office is looking into the financial disclosures submitted by Representative Omar," Pirro said on the program "America Reports."
The investigation comes shortly after Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant at Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence as part of a separate criminal probe concerning her immigration paperwork. The Justice Department has not confirmed whether the two inquiries are related, leaving the public with more questions while scrutiny intensifies.
Republican members of the House Oversight Committee, including Chairman James Comer, have previously requested records from the two companies—a California winery, eStCru LLC, and a D.C.-based venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital LLC—citing the dramatic rise in their reported values. Omar later amended her disclosures in April, reducing the combined asset range to between $18,004 and $95,000 and stating that the businesses held no net value after liabilities were accounted for.
The Office of Congressional Conduct voted to recommend that the House Ethics Committee dismiss misconduct allegations related to the disclosures, finding insufficient evidence of false or incomplete reporting. Omar’s office described that decision as vindication and reiterated that she has not been a millionaire, pushing back against the insinuations fueling the controversy.
Omar’s most recent annual filing, released in May, listed assets between roughly $20,000 and $125,000, along with student loan and credit-card debt tied to her husband.
