U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro Announces Investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Financial Disclosures

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced on Oct. 13, 2026 that her office is investigating the financial disclosures of Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, after a federal search of the congresswoman’s Washington, D.C., home that was part of a separate immigration inquiry.

The development adds a new layer to ongoing scrutiny of Omar’s reported assets and raises questions about possible violations of federal financial‑reporting law.

We are reviewing Representative Omar’s financial disclosure filings to determine whether any violations of federal law have occurred," Pirro said. "The investigation is ongoing and we will take appropriate action based on the facts."

Pirro made the statement on Fox News’ "America Reports," noting that earlier disclosures showed the value of two businesses tied to Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, jump from as little as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.

The financial probe follows a judicially authorized search warrant executed by Homeland Security Investigations on Monday at Omar’s D.C. residence. That raid was described by Department of Justice officials as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, though officials said it is unclear whether the two inquiries are directly linked.

Republican lawmakers, notably House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, have previously demanded records on the two ventures—California‑based winery eStCru LLC and Washington, D.C., venture‑capital firm Rose Lake Capital LLC. The original filings indicated a dramatic rise in reported valuations for both entities, prompting concerns about the accuracy of the disclosures.

In April, Omar amended her financial disclosures, reducing the reported combined value of the businesses to a range of $18,004 to $95,000 and asserting that earlier figures failed to account for liabilities.

A September review by the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5‑1 to recommend that the House Ethics Committee dismiss misconduct allegations, concluding there was insufficient evidence of false or incomplete reporting. That watchdog review was separate from the DOJ’s current investigation.

Omar has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, describing the investigations as politically motivated attacks by the Trump administration and its allies. She maintains that she is not a millionaire and that the disclosures accurately reflect her and her husband’s financial situation.

The Pirro office has not provided a timeline for the probe, but said the investigation will continue to examine the filings and any related documents. Federal prosecutors may pursue further action if violations are found.
