What Happened
In 2021, Rep. Omar was accused of ommitting required financial disclosures and accepting an advance on her memoir. The Office of Congressional Ethics voted unanimously in December 2021 to recommend that the House Committee on Ethics dismiss the case for lack of evidence. In 2022, two of the four House Committee on Ethics members did not vote to dismiss, but House rules have no guidelines for how to proceed in this situation so no further action will be taken.
