Omar’s revised financial disclosure form shows sharp drop in her and her husband’s net worth

The office of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is saying that the figures on a previously filed financial disclosure that showed a net worth of up to $30 million were due to an accounting error and don’t reflect her actual financial situation with her husband Tim Mynett.The original disclosure prompted criticism and calls from some GOP critics for further investigation.
Since then, Omar submitted an amended filing showing much lower assets of about $18,000 and $95,000.
According to her office, the discrepancy was the result of incorrect valuations from financial professionals tied to her husband’s business interests, including a venture capital firm and a winery in California. 
Omar’s office has said she was not directly involved in the underlying business finances. 
Omar and her representatives have said that no laws were violated and that the mistakes were the result of third-party accounting professionals.
