A House Republican investigation into Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has been launched after newly filed financial disclosures showed her family's reported wealth exploding to more than $30 million in a single year.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, is examining how the 'Squad' lawmaker and her husband rapidly amassed millions - at a time that a $9 billion Somali social services fraud scandal also exploded in her state. 

Investigators are openly weighing subpoenas as they probe whether politically connected businesses tied to Omar's family warrant deeper scrutiny, House Republicans said. 

The investigation follows federal prosecutors opening a broader investigation into alleged industrial-scale fraud involving billions of dollars in social service funds in Minnesota. 

Republicans say that scandal alone makes Omar's apparent financial windfall impossible to ignore. 

'We're going to get answers, whether it's through the Ethics Committee or the Oversight Committee, one of the two,' Comer said to the New York Post. 

The scrutiny intensified after Omar's 2024 financial disclosure revealed her family's net worth ballooned, jumping from negligible assets to a valuation that could reach as high as $30 million in a single year, according to the ranges reported on the form.

In a video she posted to Instagram this week, the congresswoman scoffed at questions about whether she was connected to the fraud scandal emerging in her state this month. 

'Why would there be an allegation that I'm complicit? How would I be complicit?' Omar snapped at a reporter.

When pressed further, she lashed out: 'Do you just ask stupid questions?'

'Nine billion, really?' Omar said sarcastically referencing the reported level of the alleged fraud. 'That is more than half of the resources that are allocated. So, you genuinely think 0 your brain has told you that it is possible for half of the resources for our public service to have disappeared? Listen to yourself.'

When the reporter cited Comer's concerns during a House Oversight hearing, Omar doubled down.

'That's what Comer believes because he's as smart as you are,' she said. 'There's absolutely no goddam way.'
