A top House Republican said a winery owned by the husband of embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was shut down amid claims of fraud.<\/p>\n

During a recent Fox News appearance, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said that the winery, which was co-owned by political consultant Tim Mynett, sold empty barrels to investors as \u201cwine to be aged.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not fresh news, the allegation has resurfaced as the Somali-born \u201cSquad\u201d member is being investigated by the Trump administration over potential fraud in how she obtained her U.S. citizenship and other matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you from our initial investigation of Omar and her financial disclosure form that there are multiple fronts where you could get a search warrant issued,\u201d the oversight boss told \u201cSunday Night in America\u201d host Trey Gowdy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big base of her $25 million listing on her financial disclosure form. That winery has, according to the press, been shut down because of fraud,\u201d Comer said.<\/p>\n

The California-based eStCru winery shut down in April amid intense congressional scrutiny into the \u201cSquad\u201d member\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial 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,\u201d Comer wrote in a February letter<\/a> to Mynett, referring to the winery and a venture capital firm that he co-founded in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven 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,\u201d the letter read. \u201cMedia reports further suggest that you may have raised money from investors using misleading information, meaning some of those funds may have been obtained improperly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mynett has denied any suggestions that he committed fraud.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny suggestion that Will or Tim deliberately defrauded investors or otherwise consciously conspired to rip people off would be false and defamatory,\u201d he and his lawyers told the Minnesota Reformer, according<\/a> to Fox News.<\/p>\n

Last week, the couple\u2019s Washington, D.C. home was raided by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents as part of an \u201congoing federal criminal investigation,\u201d a Justice Department spokesperson confirmed.<\/p>\n

During his conversation with Gowdy, Comer pointed out that Omar is also \u201cright in the middle of all of the Somali fraud with the earmarks that she proposed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were going to go to groups that were right in the thick of all the Somali fraud. All the Medicaid and welfare fraud\u2026 in Minneapolis,\u201d the Oversight chief added, referring to the \u201cindustrial scale fraud\u201d that took place among members of Minnesota\u2019s Somali diaspora.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe could be. She could also go to jail,\u201d President Donald J. Trump said<\/a> of Mynett\u2019s better half when asked by a reporter if she could be deported on Tuesday in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey keep talking about deportation, no, she could go to jail,\u201d the president added. \u201cThis is just my opinion \u2014 I think she\u2019s a sick, very dishonest person who hates our country, and she comes from a country that essentially is not even a country.\u201d<\/p>\n
