Besides scrutiny from the feds, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s winery could land the embattled power couple in hot water with imams too.
Political consultant Tim Mynett converted to Islam to marry Omar, a practicing Muslim — but selling booze is strictly banned in Islamic law, which considers anything to do with alcohol sinful — or “haram.”
“I assure you that they got married in accordance with Islam and the law, and Ilhan’s husband converted to Islam,” a spokesperson for Omar’s office told BBC Somalia at the time of the 2020 wedding.
It was Mynett’s California-based wine company eStCru, together with his other allegedly shady business ventures, that helped propel the couple’s worth to up to $30 million and attracted a probe by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice.
Omar claimed the wine biz was worth between $1 million and $5 million in her May 2025 financial disclosure, which covered the 2024 calendar year.
But by that point, the venture had gone belly-up for more than a year, adding to the mystery of why she would have placed such a high value on it in the first place.

What winery? The one that’s just a front for a money laundering operation?
US DOJ are chumps if they can’t bring this rotten B’ to justice.
What a crock of garbage that is.
RAPE JUICE

I’m sick of the Bondi haters that think she can arrest anyone at any time for anything
How about this ... send both of them to the country with the strictest Islam law and see how long they last.
Maybe you should be a federal prosecutor yourself since you obviously know more about the laws
Maybe he just thinks Ilhan is hot.

“scruinty” is not an investigation. And there is no case without investigation. Another one guilty as sin, free as a bird, thanks Bondi.
TAQQIYA
My apologies. Last link didn't seem to look correct. The Hyper link was not correct.
That's okay. Probably not in violation of any Islamic law.
Actually, even if marrying her brother DID happen to be in violation of Islamic Law or Koranic instruction, I am pretty certain that an exception for her could be easily concocted by nearly any Imam that would place it under the context of “taqiyya” in which marrying her brother would be a form of legal (under Islamic Law) lying to advance Islam by allowing her access to the US Legal System to fight The Great Satan from within.
