Ilhan Omar’s scandals keep multiplying.
There appears to be no end in sight to the allegations.
And now the dark secret Ilhan Omar schemed to bury just got its worst chapter yet.
The House Oversight Committee picked up an investigation into Ilhan Omar and her husband’s finances that the weaponized Biden Justice Department swept under the rug.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) focused his probe on a winery owned by Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett.
And in an eyebrow-raising move, the winery shut down in the aftermath of a letter Comer sent to Mynett.
“The winery ceased business operations on April 4, two months after Republicans sent a letter demanding answers to the discrepancies between Omar’s congressional financial disclosures for 2024 and the one she filed just one year earlier, according to California business records,” the New York Post reported.
Social media users mocked the now-defunct winery as a fraud on its Facebook page.
“Cannot find anywhere to buy their wines. This is weird, like it’s not a real winery,” one commentator wrote.
“I want to try a bottle of their fine wine – but I don’t know any distributors that sell it,” a second quipped.
“No phone number, address is a different business, can’t order it because it doesn’t exist. Scam,” a third poster wrote.
Comer’s jetter was asking for information about why Omar’s financial statement showed companies he owned skyrocketed in value to over $30,000,000 from $51,000 in one year.
“Financial disclosure forms, filed by your wife, Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, 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 letter read.
Comer also outlined numerous red flags about the business practices and financial dealings of the company under scrutiny.
“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,” Comer wrote.
“Media reports further suggest that you may have raised money from investors using misleading information, meaning some of those funds may have been obtained improperly,” Comer added.
Omar played damage control, claiming the financial disclosure reports that her team prepared and submitted showed her net worth ballooning by 3,500% as a result of an error.
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.
