## Key points

- Omar says she is living paycheck to paycheck.
- An amended filing reported combined assets of $18,004 to $95,000.
- She denies wrongdoing in an ongoing federal investigation.

## Summary

Ilhan Omar said she was living “paycheck to paycheck” in an interview, citing her working-class background and the couple’s 2016 Toyota Camry as their only car. Her comments have renewed questions about a financial disclosure that initially suggested businesses linked to her husband might be worth up to $30 million.

Omar later amended the filing, saying the original figures resulted from an accounting error. The revised disclosure put the couple’s combined assets at $18,004 to $95,000 and valued the businesses at zero after liabilities; a congressional watchdog voted to dismiss related misconduct allegations. The article also notes a court-authorised search of Omar’s Washington home as part of a federal investigation, which she denies wrongdoing in, and says her campaign has used the episode to solicit donations.
