US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been linked to more than a few scandals during her time on Capitol Hill, but the investigation she’s facing now has taken on a more personal tone.
She and her husband now have their finances under the microscope, and one business linked to an ongoing congressional probe has already reportedly closed up shop as a result.
As Breitbart reported:
The winery Tim Mynett co-owned in California closed up shop earlier this month after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to him saying financial disclosures his wife filed “show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes in, went from being worth as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024,” the New York Post reported Friday.
ADVERTISEMENT“Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife,” the letter read.
Meanwhile, Omar recently claimed she is not as rich as previous financial disclosures showed and blamed an accounting error, per Breitbart News.
In 2025, Omar disclosed she and her husband had assets of between $6 million and $30 million, which was a huge rise from her previous filing. The article said amended filings reportedly showed their assets at $18,004 to $95,000.
Omar’s attempt to dodge questions and obfuscate the issue have been widely shared across social media:

👀 Oh look, another smug masterclass from Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Journalist tries to ask basic questions about her finances and she just ignores him while laughing.

Here’s what the New York Post added:
This week Omar claimed she and Mynett’s net worth wasn’t actually tens of millions of dollars after all, and they actually have less than $100,000 combined, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Her office told the outlet those numbers were made in error, and blamed their accountant.
Mynett’s business venture capital and boutique winery was started in the fall of 2021, after his prior consulting firm shut down.
ADVERTISEMENTThe California winery has since followed the way of the capital group which is also now defunct.
It wasn’t a traditional brick and mortar winery, but rather just a label that subcontracted producers throughout the West Coast to bottle wines for them. When reached by The Post in February a spokesperson said the winery is dead.
And here’s some additional context regarding the broader investigation into Omar’s finances:
