Summary
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has amended her congressional financial disclosure to show that her assets are worth between $18,004 and $95,000, not between $6 million and $30 million as previously reported. The change was made after an accounting error was discovered. Omar’s spokesperson said the congresswoman is not a millionaire and the mistake was unintentional. The Office of Congressional Conduct had requested additional information earlier this year. Omar’s attorney attributed the error to reliance on accountants.
