Ilhan Omar explodes at reporter for asking about multimillion-dollar disclosure discrepancy: ‘You’re stupid’
WASHINGTON — Rep. Ilhan Omar sharply rebuked a reporter this week when pressed about major inconsistencies in financial disclosure forms that once listed her wealth in the millions.
A filing submitted in May of last year indicated that Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, possessed assets ranging from $6 million to $30 million. But a revised disclosure, highlighted by the Wall Street Journal, dramatically reduced that estimate to between $18,004 and $95,000.
Omar has attributed the gap to accounting mistakes in the original paperwork. When questioned about the issue on Tuesday, including why the numbers differed so significantly, she responded with visible irritation. After previously dismissing similar inquiries, she again lashed out, refusing to answer and telling the reporter she had no intention of explaining anything further.
Earlier reporting had pointed to a substantial spike in Omar’s reported wealth in 2024, driven largely by business interests connected to Mynett. His ventures include a Washington-based investment firm, Rose Lake Capital, and a winery in Santa Rosa, California. In the initial disclosure, those businesses were listed as holding assets in the millions.
Rose Lake Capital had also previously claimed to oversee tens of billions in assets on its website. However, in the amended filing submitted after questions from the Office of Congressional Conduct, those business holdings were reassessed as having no net value once liabilities were included.

Omar’s office maintains that the correction confirms she is not a millionaire and says the updated filing was submitted voluntarily as soon as the errors were identified.
Republican leaders have seized on the issue, calling for further scrutiny. House GOP Whip Tom Emmer said ongoing committee investigations will determine whether any wrongdoing occurred, adding that any proven misconduct should lead to accountability.
