Where this statement fits
Is Ilhan Omar worth more than $44 million, as Trump claims?
President Donald Trump said on January 26, 2026 that Rep. Ilhan Omar was "reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars." Omar rejected the allegation as a lie. Her original 2024 House disclosure listed two businesses owned by her spouse in ranges totaling about $6 million to $30 million, but she later amended the filing to report no positive value for either interest after liabilities were considered. Her 2025 filing likewise listed no positive value for those business interests and reported other assets in much lower ranges. Congressional disclosures use ranges and do not establish a precise household net worth. The Office of Congressional Conduct reportedly voted 5-1 to recommend dismissal of allegations that Omar filed false or incomplete reports. The report is confidential, and the House Ethics Committee had not announced a final action when this case was drafted.
