Case
Trump says Ilhan Omar is worth more than $44 million. Omar calls the claim a lie, while amended House disclosures report no positive value for the spouse-owned businesses that drove earlier estimates.

Response to this claim
Ilhan Omar is worth more than $44 million.
“That certainly looks like she’s a “categorically false” millionaire.”
Nagle defends the case's millionaire premise by treating the initial disclosure as evidence that Omar was a millionaire, while stopping short of Trump's exact amount.
