The U.S. House Office of Congressional Ethics dismissed misconduct allegations against Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar following a months-long investigation into her financial disclosures, Shehab Wire reported. The inquiry examined filings that revealed a significant increase in the value of assets she held jointly with her spouse.
Omar faced the ethics review after a campaign targeting her over her stated positions on Palestine. The panel's decision to close the case without finding wrongdoing ends the extended review of her financial reporting practices. The congresswoman has previously denied any impropriety in her disclosures.
