In an effort to demonstrate that there were not $30 million in her family finances, Ilhan Omar, a representative from Minnesota, submitted a declaration to Congress attempting to prove that this amount was added due to a serious accounting error.

Last September, the New York Post revealed that the Somali-born Democrat Ilhan Omar had earned nearly $30 million in just a few months through her husband Tim Mynett's businesses.

A financial disclosure from Ilhan Omar, which the New York newspaper obtained and which was submitted to the federal government in May 2025, indicated that—between 2023 and 2024—the Minnesota representative and her husband, Tim Mynett, unexpectedly increased their net worth.

“The amended statement confirms what we have said from the beginning: the congresswoman is not a millionaire.The statement was corrected as soon as the discrepancy was identified,” she stated. A letter sent by Ilhan Omar's lawyer to the Congressional Conduct Office, an independent, nonpartisan entity responsible for receiving and reviewing complaints of misconduct related to members and staff of the House of Representatives, holds a group of accountants responsible for the statement that caused such a stir. “As busy people, it is very common for members and their spouses to use qualified professionals, such as accountants, to perform calculations and determine information that appears in public documents. While the error is regrettable, there is nothing inappropriate or illegal about it,” the document states.
