Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) has called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) a "complete fraud" amid scrutiny over her financial disclosures. Emmer, appearing on "The Big Weekend Show," argued that Omar should be fired if found involved in fraud, citing her criticism of fraud investigations and a discrepancy in her financial filings. Omar’s office has denied she is a millionaire, attributing the error to an accounting mistake. An amended filing reviewed by The Wall Street Journal shows her assets range between $18,004 and $95,000, down from an earlier estimate of $6 million to $30 million. Omar’s spokesperson, Jacklyn Rogers, confirmed the correction was made "as soon as the discrepancy was identified." House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) also criticized Omar, though further details of his remarks were not provided. The controversy follows broader GOP scrutiny of Omar’s financial dealings, with some Republicans calling for investigations into potential fraud.
