'It Wasn't Me!' - Ilhan Omar Panics As Investigators Close In

Añadido: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar is absolutely in a panic and I don't blame her.

[00:00:08]Not after what she's done.

[00:00:10]And now Well, you got to wait till you hear her excuse.

[00:00:14]Before we get started, guys, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. It really helps us out. It helps our channel continue to grow.

[00:00:21]Remember a few months ago we were all reporting that Ilhan Omar went from a very, very small net worth to somewhere around 30 million dollars in just a few short years.

[00:00:32]Now Let me ask you guys a question.

[00:00:35]If you had somebody doing your finances for you, say an accountant and I don't know what you make, but let's say you make $200,000 a year.

[00:00:45]And you don't do any major investments.

[00:00:47]You don't own any major businesses. Just living your life, right?

[00:00:50]And your accountant, last year your net worth was $45,000 net worth total, like assets, everything. Let's say it was $300,000.

[00:00:58]I'm going to go big.

[00:01:00]Your net worth was $300,000 last year.

[00:01:02]Your accountant comes to you and says "Okay, well, so you got the numbers here. Your your your your your your uh your net worth is $30 million." You can ask some questions like where the hell is my $30 million?

[00:01:12]That'd be the first question I would ask. Where where is it?

[00:01:16]But Omar found nothing wrong with this >> [snorts] >> until investigations into her wealth started. Now she has Okay, ready for this? She's revised those numbers, submitted a new form, and now suddenly her net worth is around $95,000. From 30 million to $95,000.

[00:01:34]Hey, listen, it was just a clerical error, nothing to see here. See, I told you guys. And now her and her attorney are like, "See, we told you all along."

[00:01:41]You told us all along what? You revised the numbers.

[00:01:43]We still saw the original numbers. We still have the investigation. And she believes this is going to stop the investigation?

[00:01:49]She better think again.

[00:01:51]But I just found this to be the most wild, wacky excuse I had to share with you guys. I want you to watch this and let me know what you think in the comments. She's now offering you an ex- explanation in in air quotes there about why her financial disclosures say she and her husband have a net worth of 30 million dollars. Chanley Painter is here with the details. Hey Chanley. Hey Charlie. So get this, the Minnesota representative, she's doubling down that she's not a millionaire after her income disclosures sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill and calls from the president for a fraud investigation. So representative Ilhan Ilhan Omar now insisting the initial numbers in the disclosure filed last May were completely off base, which was an accounting that showed her net worth of up to 30 million dollars. But now an amended filing shows shared assets with her husband of up to just 95,000 dollars. A spokesperson saying this quote, "The amended disclosure confirms what we've all said all said all along, the congresswoman is not a millionaire."

[00:02:54]Well, the original disclosure signified a stark increase in income listing that Omar and her husband held assets valued between 6 million and 30 million, a roughly 3,500% jump in net worth from 2023 to 2024.

[00:03:08]Many are crediting it to her husband's two businesses, a winery and a venture capital firm.

[00:03:14]Reportedly aides of Omar said she did review the filing before submission, but didn't flag the errors. But Omar's lawyer is blaming their reliance of accountants for the error.

[00:03:26]Well, now she's saying that she did amend the disclosure voluntarily as soon as this discrepancy was identified.

[00:03:32]Charlie. Yeah, always blame the accountant. It's always their fault.

[00:03:37]Good strategy.

[00:03:37]>> Chanley, thank you so much.

[00:03:39]So another radical left Democrat heads to Capitol Hill, New Jersey's Analilia LaLelia May Mejia, now the farthest left member of Congress. She's just the latest in a rise of Bernie Sanders style lawmakers positioning Sanders as a new kingmaker for progressives. But some Democrats are worrying about Bernie becoming the new face of the party.

[00:04:02]Let's bring in Fox News contributor and former assistant White House counsel Hugh Hewitt. So great to see this morning, Hugh. Um so Bernie Sanders is in control of the Democrat party now, isn't he?

[00:04:14]He seems to be. Good morning, Charlie.

[00:04:16]Uh
