Platform: INSTAGRAM Author: @politiciantradetracker --- Caption/Description --- This is interesting... She filed $30 million. Now it's under $95,000. She called the original number a "filing error." Ilhan Omar's latest House financial disclosure puts her net worth below $95,000 — down from a figure that once looked like one of the largest in Congress. No detailed correction was ever filed explaining the original number. Meanwhile, the median American household has a net worth of roughly $192,000. Every member of Congress files these disclosures every year. Most go unread. But when you start reading them, the numbers don't always add up. Insiders aren't gonna stop trading.
