Perhaps you’ve seen the reports that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has suddenly come into millions of dollars despite her congressional salary of $174,000.
It’s true, but the disclosure that triggered these reports raises more questions than answers.
Omar recently filed her annual financial disclosure form for 2024. In the “Assets and Unearned Income” section, she listed interests in two businesses associated with her husband, Tim Mynett (in photo with Omar).
The first is a partnership interest in an LLC called EstCru worth between $1 and $5 million. EstCru was the subject of negative headlines last year when Mynett was accused of defrauding investors, and its investments in a vineyard and cannabis venture failed. In 2024, NLPC filed a Complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) alleging that Omar failed to fully disclose her interest in EstCru. It is a surprise that the partnership is worth anything.
An even bigger surprise came in the form of a reported interest in a second partnership, Rose Lake Capital, purportedly worth between $5 and $25 million.
When Omar married Mynett, he was a struggling political consultant with a checkered past. In apparent response to an NLPC-filed Complaint to the Federal Election Commission, Omar stopped using Mynett’s firm, through which most of her campaign spending had been routed.
The description of Rose Lake Capital on the disclosure form is “Venture Capital Management,” a heretofore unknown specialty of Mynett. It’s likely that Omar and Mynett were cut in on some deal, the purpose of which was to make them rich. The international Left has billions at its disposal. It rewards its friends.
According to NLPC Counsel Paul Kamenar, “The obvious questions are: Who ‘invested’ in Rose Lake, what was their motivation, and what did they receive, if anything, in return? NLPC will continue its investigative efforts into this and other possible ethical if not illegal misconduct.”
Omar has achieved celebrity, a status that she apparently believes entitles her to wealth. And of course, celebrities get to cash in on books. In 2021, NLPC alleged in a Complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) that she failed to report royalties from her book titled, This is What America Looks Like. The OCE referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee, which took no action, underscoring the deference shown to Left-wing celebrities by the media and ethics enforcers.
In February 2025, Omar called a report that she was worth millions “categorically false” and said she had “barely thousands,” no stocks, no real estate, and still had student loan debt.
Of course, there’s still the matter of whether Omar engaged in immigration fraud by possibly marrying her brother. NLPC has initiated a petition to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking her to review the files of the FBI investigation that reportedly took place, and if necessary, to “conduct a fresh investigation to get to the bottom of the allegations against Omar, once and for all.”
