In a shocking financial “whodunnit” that has baffled accountants, investigators, and anyone with basic math skills, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) dramatically announced she is not nearly as wealthy as her previous financial disclosures suggested, sources have confirmed.
Last week Omar was reportedly worth somewhere between $6 million and $30 million thanks to her husband’s booming businesses, including a mysterious venture capital firm and a California winery.
This week?
She claims her net worth has plummeted to a humble $18,004 to $95,000 after “major accounting errors.”
The congresswoman, who earns $174,000 a year, says she simply didn’t notice all those extra zeros her accountants kept adding.
“I thought it was just a rounding thing,” she explained with a straight face.
Republicans, including President Trump, are demanding an investigation, with some wondering if this is why Omar never noticed all the massive fraud in Minnesota — she just couldn’t see all those extra zeros there either.
“It’s almost like someone was laundering money and then realized the paperwork looked bad,” one GOP source joked.
Democrats have rushed to defend Omar, arguing that everyone makes honest mistakes — like accidentally listing your husband’s company as worth $25 million when it was actually worth negative $3.47 and a half-used Starbucks gift card.
As of press time, forensic accountants were still trying to solve the greatest financial mystery since Hunter Biden’s art career: how Ilhan Omar’s wealth managed to vanish faster than her principles on Somalia.
