It's been a week of legal turmoil for one of America's best-known members of Congress.
Early Monday morning, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the senior investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), executed a search warrant at the Washington, D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Maine.
A day later, Washington, D.C., District Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced that her office was investigating the disclosure of Omar's financial information, which had previously been subject to public scrutiny and congressional oversight, but had never been done by authorities.

In May 2025, Omar filed the 2024 financial disclosure forms that every member of Congress must complete each year. I have shown that she has between $6 million and $30 million in assets tied to two businesses run by her husband, Tim Minet. One was a venture capital firm and the other a California winery.
His financial disclosure from the previous year, which covers 2023, says those assets are worth only between $15,000 and $51,000.
The now-defunct winery, eStCru LLC, saw its reported value increase from $15,000 to $50,000 in 2023 to $1 million to $5 million in 2024, and to $5 million to $25 million the following year.
The sharp increase in reported net worth over the course of a year prompted a watchdog group, the National Law and Policy Center, to file a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct in February of this year.

Less than a month after filing the complaint, Omar amended his 2025 disclosure form. The new filing reduced the couple's total reported assets to between $18,004 and $95,000 and said the business was worth zero after accounting for liabilities.

Omar blamed the accounting error and since then has repeatedly emphasized that he is not a millionaire.
In September, the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to recommend that the House Ethics Committee dismiss allegations of misconduct stemming from financial disclosures.
Further details about the investigation have not yet been released.
Monday's judicially-authorized raid on Omar's Washington, D.C. home sent shockwaves through the political world, with many critics calling it politically motivated because it came three weeks before November's general election.
The Trump administration has denied the allegations.

HSI agents spent several hours at Omar's home, and the Wall Street Journal reported that the lawmaker's personal cell phone, computer and passport were seized during the search. He has not been seen in public since before the attack.
Dozens of people, including family members, were summoned in connection with this investigation.
Federal agents seized Rep. Ilhan Omar's phone in a raid linked to an immigration fraud investigation.
"Well, I know they're watching him carefully," President Donald Trump said Monday of the attack. "Personally, I thought he was quite a curmudgeon, but that's none of my business."
"I think he's a horrible person. He's just a complainer. He comes from a country that's ... a non-state, and then he comes here and complains about our constitution," she continued. "I think he's a terrible person, but that's really up to the Justice Department. I have nothing to do with it."
"We don't want to be like the Biden administration. We never want to be like this — where they let the law go after their political opponents," Vance said. We really want to let the law, the facts drive this. And if justice requires doing something else, of course, we will step in if necessary."

Vance clarified that an unprecedented action to decertify a sitting member of Congress is possible, but only if the law requires it based on the facts of the case.
"And as for it being unprecedented, I mean, what I'm trying to say is that Ilhan Omar himself is a very unprecedented person," Vance said.
"We've rarely had someone in Congress who seems to have such contempt and anger for the country that it would give him a better life," Vance said. "Now, that's not a crime."
But we will see if he has committed a crime or not.
Omar's spokesman did not respond to several requests for comment during the week.
However, Omar has responded on social media.
"This attack by Trump's DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the arming of federal law enforcement to target political enemies," he said.
"For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting the target on her back. Now, these attacks have become a pointless federal attack. The congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies."
