Rep Ilhan Omar’s husband’s California winery shuts down amid House probe

A California winery partly owned by the husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., abruptly closed its doors in early April as House Republicans scrutinized Omar’s net worth.

Omar’s financial disclosures show Mynett has an ownership interest in eStCru Wines, a California wine company that closed its doors April 4, according to California business records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

“Ilhan Omar has spent her entire career covering up a Democratic-facilitated fraud that cost taxpayers billions. So it’s no surprise that she’s doing the same for her husband. Voters are seeing through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar and her fellow Democrats, and they will pay the consequences for their crimes at the ballot box this November,” Republican National Committee spokesperson Delanie Bomar told Fox News Digital.

The closure comes amid a House Oversight Committee investigation into Omar’s finances, with her husband’s assets a major area of ​​interest.

“Financial disclosure forms, filed by your wife, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, show that eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, in which you have ownership interests, went from being worth $51,000 in 2023 to $30 million in 2024,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., wrote to Mynett in a February letter.

“Since these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden rise in value raises concerns that strangers are investing to gain influence with your wife,” Comer added.

Tim Mynett, political consultant, launched eStCru Wines in 2021.

Omar’s 2025 financial disclosures indicated that her husband’s stake in eStCru was worth between $1 million and $5 million, a significant jump from $15,001 to $50,000 in her 2023 disclosures.

Comer pointed out the discrepancy in the disclosure forms in his letter, but Omar dismissed it as an accounting error.

“The initial filing was based on incomplete information provided by accountants for Mr. Mynett’s businesses, in good faith and out of respect for professional judgment. It listed assets with no liabilities and significantly overstated her husband’s net worth. The accounting error created a misleading picture of much greater wealth,” a spokesperson for Omar told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

After changing her statements, Omar claims that the value of her and her husband’s assets is between $18,004 and $95,000 and not, as initially reported, between $6 million and $30 million.

“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” Omar’s communications director, Jacklyn Rogers, told the Wall Street Journal.

Fox News Digital reached out to Omar and the House Oversight Committee for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
