A watchdog group that filed a complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is demanding the House Ethics panel obtain her financial documents rather than sweeping a high-profile inquiry of her under the rug.
The 11th hour push comes after a congressional panel voted to dismiss an investigation of Omar’s staggering gains in disclosed wealth that she blamed on an oversight.
Paul Kamenar of the National Legal and Policy Center called it “stunning” that the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to recommend the House Ethics Committee dismiss a probe of Omar, after Omar’s office cited the “overwhelming” vote.
“From day one, we have been clear: the Congresswoman is not a millionaire,” said Omar spokeswoman Jacklyn Rogers following a report by the Wall Street Journal that the advisory panel cleared her of wrongdoing.
“Her excuse that their accountant was so stupid that he valued the assets without considering the liabilities is laughable,” Kamenar told The Post.
In a rare public explanation of the huge discrepancies of her legally-required financial reports, Omar’s office said she “isn’t involved in her husband’s businesses and trusted the accountant involved,” when she personally signed off on her 2024 disclosure form, which she amended a year later following a series of reports by The Post.
That comment came to the Wall Street Journal after the paper reported that the Office of Congressional Conduct recommended the Ethics Committee dismiss charges against her.

Omar (smugly): You’ll never catch me. I’ll be one step ahead of you and your toothless DOJ. Democrats and Socialists don’t get convicted or go to prison. I’ll be at dinner parties laughing with Comey, Brennan and the Obama pals.
Sidenote: Who signed the visa forms to allow all of the 9/11 hijackers to enter the United States?
Answer: John Brennan. At that time station chief of CIA for Saudia Arabia.
The Office of Congressional Conduct must be investigated
and replaced in its entirety
by lawful, honest individuals.
They are married/wedded to the corrupt and belong in prison.
Doesn’t appear the ethics committee is very ethical.
Corruption in Congress!!!
Congress works like this:
Seldom, very Seldom do Bills get written by CongressCritters, Bills are written by K Street lobbyist.
Lobbyist line up bought n paid for CongressCritters to sponsor Bill.
Experienced CongressCritters know what Bills will pass and what company/industry it will help prosper.
CongressCritters buy stock in company/industry.
It’s all legal for CongressCritters, but would be insider trading violations for you and I.
Also when CongressCritters declare to Congress their net worth, that declaration is made on their “realized” net worth, CongressCritters “unrealized” net worth does not need to be reported.
It’s all in the details people.
