Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is reportedly under investigation by federal authorities in both Washington, DC, and Minnesota over allegations involving possible immigration fraud and discrepancies in financial disclosures that previously placed her family’s net worth as high as $30 million.

The investigations, described by individuals familiar with the cases and an administration official, are examining separate questions surrounding the Minnesota congresswoman’s immigration history and the finances of Omar and her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett.

Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, publicly acknowledged the existence of multiple inquiries during an appearance Tuesday on Fox News’ “America Reports,” stating that “there are several investigations going on” involving Omar.

According to individuals familiar with the investigations, federal prosecutors in Minnesota are overseeing the immigration-related inquiry, which reportedly includes questions about the accuracy of Omar’s reported date of birth. Meanwhile, Pirro’s office in Washington is examining financial matters involving Omar and Mynett, including the substantial valuations previously reported on congressional disclosure documents.

One individual familiar with the immigration investigation suggested that evidence of knowingly providing false information or concealing significant facts in immigration filings could potentially expose Omar to proceedings aimed at revoking her American citizenship.

Under federal law, criminal denaturalization cases are generally subject to a 10-year statute of limitations, while civil proceedings seeking to revoke citizenship obtained unlawfully are not governed by the same time restriction. Whether either avenue could apply to Omar would depend on the facts established by investigators and the legal basis of her citizenship.

The 44-year-old congresswoman has maintained that she obtained American citizenship in 2000 while still a minor, deriving that status through the naturalization of her father, Nur Omar Mohamed. That explanation has become a focus of renewed scrutiny because of conflicting birth-year information appearing in certain publicly available records.

Although Omar’s reported date of birth is October 4, 1982, some records reportedly identify October 4, 1981, as her birthday. If the earlier year were accurate, she would have been 18 rather than 17 when her father became a citizen, potentially raising questions about her eligibility for derivative citizenship under the circumstances she has described.

The discrepancy alone does not establish that Omar misrepresented her age or obtained citizenship improperly. Investigators would need to establish which records are accurate and whether any material false statements were knowingly submitted.

Questions surrounding Omar’s immigration history have surfaced previously, including allegations involving one of her brothers. During the 2018 congressional campaign, her campaign told the Associated Press that the family did not possess her birth certificate because of their displacement during Somalia’s prolonged civil war.

The current investigation intensified Monday when Homeland Security Investigations agents arrived at Omar’s Washington residence with a federal search warrant. Investigators searched the bungalow and were photographed departing with boxes believed to contain materials collected during the operation.

Pirro defended the search during her television appearance, emphasizing that federal agents had obtained judicial authorization before entering the congresswoman’s home.

“They got a warrant signed by a federal judge,” Pirro said.

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

The Justice Department confirmed that Monday’s operation was connected to an ongoing federal criminal investigation. One person familiar with the matter indicated that the inquiry had been underway for several years before the highly publicized search.

Federal investigators have also reportedly issued grand jury subpoenas to members of Omar’s family. Among those identified as having received a subpoena is her sister, Sahra Noor, according to reporting first published Tuesday by the New York Times.

Separate from the immigration allegations, federal authorities are examining Omar’s congressional financial filings and the valuations associated with assets held by her family.

Omar has previously faced two reviews by the Office of Congressional Conduct concerning allegations that information was omitted from financial disclosure documents. Both matters were dismissed, and neither resulted in a finding of wrongdoing against her.

The latest financial questions center on disclosures that indicated Omar and her husband could have a combined net worth approaching $30 million, followed by a subsequent revision placing the figure at approximately $95,000. The congresswoman has attributed the dramatic difference to accounting discrepancies.

The existence of substantial changes in reported valuations does not, by itself, demonstrate that the original filings were intentionally falsified. Federal investigators would have to determine whether any inaccurate information was knowingly reported and whether it violated applicable disclosure laws.

Omar responded to the search of her residence by accusing President Donald Trump of using federal law enforcement to intimidate a political opponent, insisting that she “will not be silenced.”

“For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation,” she said.

A spokesperson for the congresswoman also rejected suggestions of criminal conduct.

“The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong,” the representative said.

Trump, who has repeatedly criticized Omar over her political positions and public statements, denied having directed the investigation or participating in decisions concerning the search.

“I have nothing to do with it,” the president said.

Nevertheless, Trump continued his criticism of the Minnesota Democrat, describing her Monday as a “totally crooked” politician.

“I think she’s a terrible person. Just a complainer. She comes from a country that is a non-country. And then she comes over here, and she complains about our Constitution,” the president said.

On Tuesday, Trump again turned his attention to Omar’s finances, posting on Truth Social about the striking reduction in her reported net worth from as much as $30 million to approximately $95,000 and questioning the accounting explanation offered for the change.

Additional reporting Wednesday revealed that the financial investigation involves two businesses associated with Mynett: eStCru LLC, a California winery, and Rose Lake Capital LLC, a Washington-based venture capital firm.

According to the original congressional filings, the winery’s reported value increased from between $15,000 and $50,000 in 2023 to between $1 million and $5 million in 2024. Rose Lake Capital showed an even greater increase, climbing from a reported value of between $1 and $1,000 to between $5 million and $25 million during the same period.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer requested financial documents from both companies in February. Omar subsequently amended her disclosures in April, reporting combined assets valued between $18,004 and $95,000 after accounting for business liabilities.

In September, the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to recommend dismissing allegations concerning the disclosures, finding insufficient grounds to conclude that Omar had violated federal law or House rules.

Mynett, meanwhile, expressed confidence in his wife’s position when approached Wednesday by Fox News Digital outside their Washington residence.

“My wife came here when she was 12 years old as a child war refugee,” he said. “No concerns.”

The investigations have also triggered criticism from Democratic leaders, who have questioned the timing of the search just weeks before the November midterm elections. Federal authorities have maintained that the operation was authorized by a judge, while critics argue that conducting such a highly visible search so close to an election raises concerns about political interference.

No criminal charges against Omar have been publicly announced in connection with either investigation.
