🚨 BREAKING: James Comer Confirms House Ethics Committee Investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar Following Massive Financial Disclosure Discrepancies
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has confirmed that the House Ethics Committee is launching an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar regarding significant irregularities in her recent financial disclosures. The probe centers on an unexplained and exponential surge in the value of assets tied to her husband, Timothy Mynett, which Comer describes as “impossible to ignore.”
The “Impossible to Ignore” Spike
According to financial disclosure forms filed by Rep. Omar in May 2025, two companies co-owned by her husband—eStCru LLC (a winery) and Rose Lake Capital LLC (a venture capital firm)—saw their reported valuations skyrocket in a single year.
The Jump: The combined value of these assets reportedly leapt from approximately $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.
The Breakdown:
* eStCru LLC jumped from a valuation of $15,000–$50,000 to between $1 million and $5 million.
* Rose Lake Capital LLC surged from a minimal value of $1–$1,000 to between $5 million and $25 million.
Chairman Comer has formally requested documents and communications from Mynett, setting a deadline of February 19, 2026. The Oversight Committee is specifically seeking investor lists, business audits, and travel records to countries including the United Arab Emirates, Somalia, and Kenya. “Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from,” Comer wrote, “this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife.”
Objections and Defense
Representative Omar’s office has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, characterizing the investigation as a “political stunt” designed to harass a political opponent.
Income vs. Assets: Omar has previously pointed out that while the valuation of the companies increased on paper, her husband’s reported income* from them remained low—between $5,000 and $15,000 from the winery and zero from the venture capital firm.
Partisan Allegations: Jackie Rogers, a spokesperson for Omar, stated, “This is an attempt to orchestrate a smear campaign against the congresswoman, and it is disgusting that our tax dollars are being used to malign her.” Omar also took to social media to dismiss the allegations, citing that years of previous investigations have found no illegal activity.
Context and Background
This is not the first time Rep. Omar’s family finances have faced scrutiny.
E Street Group: During the 2020 election cycle, Omar’s campaign paid nearly $3 million to the E Street Group, a political consulting firm co-owned by Mynett. While the Federal Election Commission (FEC) found no violation of the law, Omar terminated the contract in late 2020 following public criticism.
Legal Troubles: The sudden valuation spike also contrasts with recent legal challenges faced by Mynett’s business interests. In 2023, a Washington D.C. investor sued Mynett and his business partner, William Hailer, alleging fraud regarding a $300,000 investment in eStCru that failed to yield promised returns.
Unusual Procedure: While the House Ethics Committee typically handles internal congressional conduct, the direct involvement of the Oversight Committee—and its specific focus on a spouse’s private business records—marks a significant escalation in the GOP-led scrutiny of the “Squad” member.
