Federal Prosecutor Says She’s Probing Ilhan Omar’s Financial Disclosures

A federal prosecutor says she is probing financial disclosures made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), one of several investigations the prosecutor said involve the congresswoman.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro told Fox News on Oct. 13 that her office is looking into the disclosures, which have included significant revisions.

“We’re looking at the facts,” Pirro said. “Based upon the facts, we’ll follow them wherever they take us.”

A spokesman for Omar did not return an early morning request for comment by publication time.

Omar’s 2024 financial report, filed with the House of Representatives clerk on May 14, 2025, listed two businesses in which her husband holds stakes as being worth at least $1 million. eStCru, a California winery, was listed as worth $1 million to $5 million. Rose Lake Capital, a venture capital firm in Washington, was listed as being valued from $5 million to $25 million.

eStCru was listed as being worth $15,001 to $50,000, and Rose Lake Capital was listed as being worth $1 to $1,000, in Omar’s 2023 filing.

The sharp increase attracted attention from some lawmakers. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) in February asked Omar to provide documents and communications related to the finances.

“Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife,” Comer wrote to Tim Mynett, Omar’s third husband.

Omar filed an amended disclosure for 2024 the following month that listed eStCru and Rose Lake Capital as assets with no value. She also revised the 2023 filing to list the businesses as assets valued at $0.

The Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5–1 in September to dismiss an investigation into the financial disclosures, Omar’s office told news outlets in a statement.

“From day one, we have been clear: the Congresswoman is not a millionaire,” a spokesperson for the congresswoman said at the time. The Office of Congressional Conduct did not respond to a request for comment.

Pirro told Fox that the move from the Office of Congressional Conduct does not affect her investigation.

Pirro also commented on how federal agents recently searched Omar’s home in Washington as part of a criminal probe, according to the Department of Justice.

“There was no question that that judge would not have signed that warrant unless there was probable cause, and probably more than that given the individual that was involved and given the fact we’re in the nation’s capital with judges in the nation’s capital,” Pirro said.

She said the search might be related to immigration issues.

Top government officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have said that Omar, a native of Somalia, did or may have committed immigration fraud.

Omar said in a post on X after the search started that it was “an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.” Her office said the search was “an outrageous abuse of power.”
