Office of Congressional Conduct clears Rep. Ilhan Omar over wealth documents

  • Office of Congressional Conduct dismissed misconduct allegations against Rep. Ilhan Omar.
  • Omar’s initial filings valued jointly held assets between $6 million and $30 million.
  • Omar amended the disclosures in April, citing an accounting error for inflated figures.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) was cleared of misconduct after the Office of Congressional Conduct dismissed allegations concerning financial disclosures that valued assets she jointly owned with her husband at between $6 million and $30 million. The figures, submitted last year, represented a sharp increase from the previous year and prompted Republican calls for an investigation. Omar amended the disclosures in April, sharply reducing the valuations and attributing the original figures to an accounting error. The controversy also drew accusations from President Trump and scrutiny from Rep. James Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman. Omar’s office said the OCC decision supported her position that the episode was politically motivated. The OCC declined to comment, and The Wall Street Journal first reported the decision.
