The House Oversight Committee is probing “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s skyrocketing family wealth after a $9 billion Somali social services fraud scandal exploded in her district,The Post has learned.
Oversight panel Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said staff lawyers are exploring the extraordinary step of subpoenaing Omar’s spouse over his allegedly shady business practices.
“We’re going to get answers, whether it’s through the Ethics Committee or the Oversight Committee, one of the two,” he told The Post.
Republicans want to know how Somali-born Omar (D-Minn.) and her politically-connected husband Tim Mynett went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her 2024 disclosure forms.
“There are a lot of questions as to how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years,” Comer said. “It’s not possible. It’s not. I’m a money guy. It’s not possible.”
Separately, federal law enforcement is also probing.
“We are investigating all politicians potentially connected to any of this [fraud] in Minnesota. You can read between the lines,” said a law enforcement source.
Unlike the Biden administration, which took no apparent action, Team Trump is “on top of it,” the source said.
The comments came as The Post learned the FBI was briefed during the Biden administration on suspicions about an array of companies run by Omar’s hubby.

I was being facetious.
Five years on and they’re still ‘probing’.
RE: their net worth rose by around 3,500%, potentially reaching up to $30 million according to a late 2025 financial disclosure.
It’s Impossible
Hit song by Perry Como in 1970.
It’s impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It’s just impossible.
It’s impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It’s just impossible.
Just impossible.
Ha.
Plus the lucrative lemonade stand. 🍋🍋
I think she married a gringo who owns a business with assets not $30 million in a bank. However, nothing surprises me anymore.
How long did it take Bezos, Zuck, Buffet, Musk, and all the other billionaires to make their first 30 million dollars?
Aside from winning a lottery or having an insanely rich uncle die and get an inheritance I don’t see it either. Guaranteed Ilhan’s fingers are in the Somali fraud scams. How many of those “learing’ centers have investors?
Bingo
Another “probe” to nowhere.
How do ANY politicians get so rich? Omar is just one glowing example. Is she to big to ignore?

Former Democratic operative settles $1.2 million debt with South Dakota cannabis growers
Will Hailer and his business partner Tim Mynett, husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar, still face another lawsuit alleging they defrauded an investor in their California winery
Former Minnesota DFL political operative Will Hailer paid $1.2 million to settle a lawsuit brought by two South Dakota cannabis companies and their investors accusing him of fraud.
The case ends a two-year saga that began when Hailer approached 605 Cannabis founder Ned Horsted with an attractive business opportunity for him and the two founders of another cannabis company, Dakota Natural Growers.
Hailer promised he would bring in an additional $7.5 million in investment for the cannabis growers if they gave him the $3.54 million they raised from friends, family and acquaintances.
Hailer, who previously worked for the Democratic National Committee and for Attorney General Keith Ellison, met Horsted years before through Democratic politics.
“He tells a great story,” Horsted said of Hailer in an interview earlier this year. “It made sense in my mind. If you’re well connected, and you could pick up the phone and get someone to give $100,000 to a campaign, you could probably get that same kind of money for a business venture.”
The additional investment never materialized despite months of promises that the money was just days or weeks aways, according to court documents.
Hailer returned $1.86 million in August 2022 and another $500,000 in October 2023 after the cannabis business owners and their investors sued Hailer and three of his companies, eST Ventures, Badlands Fund and Badland Ventures.
The latest settlement and $1.2 million payment means the cannabis entrepreneurs and investors have received all of their own money back after giving Hailer control of it in early 2022.
Jason Tarasek, the attorney for the cannabis companies, declined to comment beyond that they “amicably resolved their dispute.” The case was settled in Nebraska, where Hailer lives.
It’s unclear how Hailer was able to pay the settlement. As the Reformer reported in June, discovery documents in the case showed Hailer had less than $750 combined across various business and personal bank accounts.
Hailer did not respond to an email seeking comment.
Is she tied to the drug cartels?
I know. But they all are making so much dough one way or the other. H has/had many different ways including cattle futures
Pelosi was ridiculous - and they’re looking at getting rid of insider trading only after she’s gone. Ask the foxes to guard the henhouse
