    and her husband's net worth is now below $100,000. How so? That's down from as much as $30 million in their last filing. What is going on? We turn to Mark Meredith, who has more. Hi, Mark. Dana, it's a great question. Good morning to you. Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is once again raising questions about her finances. She's filed a new disclosure report showing major changes to her net worth compared to just a few months ago. The Congresswoman sparked an investigation after a 2024 filing showed she and her husband had assets between $6 and $30 million. It was a massive rise in wealth compared to years prior. After people started asking questions, though, the congresswoman claimed it was just an accounting error and the forms were amended. Reports for 2025 showed much lower wealth. And now the latest report for 2026 shows her family's stake in a winery and an investment firm are now worth nothing of value and that her savings and retirement account holdings are fairly modest. The Congresswoman's office has not yet responded to Fox's latest request for comment about this disclosure finding. But just last month, the Congresswoman told our crews she's got nothing to hide. What about House Republicans looking into the net worth of you and your husband? Are you cooperating with that investigation and providing the documents? Nobody looking into anything. They're just saying those things to get interviews with you guys. There's nothing really happening. Well, Omar claims there's nothing to see political watchdogs say something for them doesn't add up. I've never seen a swing go from essentially nothing up to 30 million and then back down to nothing. I've seen it go from nothing up to, you know, a lot of money, but I've never seen it come back down that quickly, especially after the public starts calling it out.
