Watchdog clears Omar of misconduct after probe into financial filings

The Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) “delivered an overwhelming vote to dismiss any allegations against the Congresswoman,” an Omar spokesperson said Wednesday in a statement.

“From day one, we have been clear: the Congresswoman is not a millionaire,” the spokesperson said.

The OCC, an independent bipartisan panel, had launched an investigation into Omar after she submitted financial disclosures last year claiming that assets she owned jointly with her husband were worth between $6 million and $30 million.

The figures marked a sharp increase above those Omar claimed just a year earlier, and they sparked an outcry from Republicans on Capitol Hill who demanded an investigation into the source of Omar’s wealth.

President 9Trump piled on, accusing Omar of profiting illegally from a multibillion-dollar fraud scheme plaguing Minnesota’s social services programs — allegations Omar strongly denied.

In April, Omar amended her financial disclosures, sharply reducing the value of her claimed assets. She blamed the inflated figures in the initial disclosure on an accounting error.

The filings caught the eye of top Republicans in the Capitol, including Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who chairs the House Oversight Committee and sought records from Omar’s husband earlier in the year.

Omar, a former Somali refugee and one of the first Muslims to serve in Congress, has long been a target of Republicans. She says the controversy surrounding her finances has been manufactured by Trump and other GOP lawmakers as part of that longer feud. On Wednesday, Omar’s office said the OCC’s dismissal of the case validates that position.

Shurely shome mishtake, eh?

Ilhan thought she could at least trust her hubby to give her the right figures. It's his business, after all.

But no. You can't trust a man to do the books. Not only does Ilhan have to submit all her own paperwork to Congress, she has to go over hubby's books too.

When totaling the profits of his businesses, he forgot to subtract his debts. Turns out he was $95K in the black, not $30 mil.

Sheesh, what a mess. Still, somebody should tell DL, eh? In his bank fraud trial, he said signing off on fake figures is standard accounting practice.

DEEP STATE !!!

Ah.

What do you think, Setanta?

Do you agree Ilhan should be immediately deported, without due process, for being a Muslim?

This would be illegal in, I think, every country in the world, but do you think the US should make an exception as the old boy asserts?
