Andrew Kerr in the Washington Free Beacon details more fallout from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) filing of an amendment to her 2024 financial disclosures showing that she’s not worth as much as $30 million, as she originally reported. She blamed the difference on an “accounting error.” Omar amended her report in response to an inquiry by the Office of Congressional Conduct, apparently triggered by an NLPC complaint filed in February. From the story:
To Paul Kamenar, the attorney who filed the complaint that prompted the Office of Congressional Conduct’s investigation, Omar’s $30 million accounting error is a far cry from the typical sort of error typically found in congressional financial disclosures.
“In no way can this radical amendment of her finances be compared to those of other members who may have inadvertently omitted reporting the purchase of a share of stock,” said Kamenar, who serves as counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center watchdog group. “Omar’s excuse that she just realized this gross discrepancy is laughable, insults the intelligence of her constituents, or shows how really stupid she is.”
