Investigative reporter Angela Rose visited Minneapolis addresses tied to nonprofit federal grants for social service programs and found a restaurant operating at one location listed by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to receive federal funding as a substance abuse clinic.

“Has there ever been a a substance abuse clinic that operates out of here?” Rose asked a worker at the Sagal Restaurant.

“No, no. This place? No. Never. No,” the worker responded.

The restaurant listed by Omar to receive the funding was previously plugged by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey.

Rose’s report comes as Omar recently blamed an accounting error for having to revise a financial disclosure statement from $30 million to below $100K, as the House Oversight Committee probes her finances.

CBS News reports: “The amended disclosure was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Omar’s original financial disclosure form stated that companies co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, were worth between $6 million and $30 million.”

Her revised financial statement now says her and her husband’s joint assets are valued at anywhere from $18,004 to $95,000.

“Who makes a multimillion-dollar mistake on their financial disclosure form?” House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) asked Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

“In what world is a multibillion-dollar correction to a person’s financial disclosure considered normal?” asked House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) earlier this week at a press conference.

Rose tied her reporting to California’s “Stop Nick Shirley Act” (AB 2624), which allows social service workers to sue reporters who distribute their images or personal information, saying this is the type of investigative journalism the law is trying to stop from happening.

“So this is what they’re trying to make illegal in California with the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ and can find people for simply going to places and just existing,” Rose said. “Like basically they’re trying to outlaw being an influencer or just talking to people and outlaw the First Amendment to record and to just talk to people and ask questions. They’re trying to make that illegal.”
