Musk Pours $276 Million Into the Midterms, and Federal Agents Raid Home of Rep. Ilhan Omar

3 sources →

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced that her office is investigating Representative Ilhan Omar’s financial disclosures following a federal raid on Omar's Washington, D.C. home. The investigation focuses on significant discrepancies in the reported valuation of businesses owned by Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, which were initially reported as having values up to $30 million before being amended to show nearly no net value. While the Office of Congressional Ethics recommended dismissal of ethics complaints earlier this year, a separate federal criminal investigation involving immigration paperwork led to the recent search by Homeland Security Investigations agents. Omar has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, characterizing the actions as politically motivated targeting by the Trump administration.
