Scandal-scarred Rep. Ilhan Omar and her hubby have gone from the penthouse to the poorhouse.
The husband of the Minnesota “Squad” firebrand — who once valued his venture capital and wine empire at up to $30 million — now claims to be pocketing as little as $200 a year.
The embattled socialist claimed hubby Tim Mynett made no income last year from his main business, Rose Lake Capital, according to her newly released 2025 financial disclosure report.
The only money Mynett — who has nearly two decades of experience in DC — earned last year is a meager $200 to $1,000 from his defunct California-based wine business eStCru, which sold bottles such as “The Devil’s Lie” before going belly up in April.
Omar claimed the total value of the couple’s assets was between $20,000 and $125,000 for 2025, and their credit card and student-loan debt hovered between $30,000 and $100,000 — putting their net worth at negative-$80,000-$95,000, according to the report.
The head-scratching financial disclosure comes after the couple in 2024 reported sudden ballooning wealth — from close to nothing to between $5 million and $30 million — sparking intense public scrutiny.
That spurred a Congressional investigation into Omar’s finances, just as a massive social services fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district was blowing up.
In response, Somalia-born Omar filed an amended 2024 financial disclosure in March, listing the value of Mynett’s ownership stakes in both businesses at zero. She chalked up the “discrepancy” on an accounting error.

First of all, this is a Federal case, and, believe it or not, they have more than a few things they are working on. Second, good cases that don’t fall apart after indictment take time to build. Third, it isn’t just her - there are many if not dozens of serious criminals joined with her at the hip, and you want to chase down as many leads as you possibly can to cast as wide a net as you possibly can when you go to the Grand Jury. Why indict one or two when you can indict 20 or 30?
Plus, if you indict that many, you get a lot turning state’s witness making the convictions even easier.
Guess that Leerning Center money has dried up.
“…spurred a Congressional investigation”
There are those meaningless words again.

. The New York Times reported that there was an investigation started during the Biden Administration in 2024, but it didn’t go anywhere due to lack of evidence. It’s anyone’s guess how the situation will unfold going forward.

I am sick of seeing and hearing about Ilhan Omar. She is the scofflaw poster child. If nothing is made to stick to this woman which demands consequences then just shut up about and ignore her. At this point the only purpose she serves is fund raising off the outrage she produces. What does it tell you that the GOP can not even hang a censure on her? They can’t wait for her next anti-American vomit.
It is highly illegal——a federal crime-——for a Congressman to file a falsified, intentionally incomplete, or fraudulent congressional financial disclosure form.
Lawmakers face severe civil and criminal penalties for this offense under the Ethics in Government Act (EIGA) and federal criminal code:
1. Civil Penalties
Under the EIGA (5 U.S.C. \(\S 13106\)), the Attorney General can bring a civil action against any individual who knowingly and willfully falsifies or fails to report required information. Civil fines can reach up to $50,000 per violation.
2. Criminal Penalties
Under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1001, knowingly and willfully making materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements to the federal government is a felony.Imprisonment: Offenders face up to 5 years in federal prison.Fines: Criminal fines of up to $250,000 can be levied against individuals.
3. Congressional Ethics Actions
In addition to Department of Justice prosecution, the U.S. House Committee on Ethics or the Senate Select Committee on Ethics can review these filings. The respective chamber can impose its own disciplinary actions, including reprimand, censure, or expulsion, and can enforce additional internal fines.
For more details on the statutory guidelines, consult the U.S. House Committee on Ethics or the Ethics in Government Act provided by the House of Representatives.

Too bad..now they’ll have to scrape by on the little snot’s with the the table colth on her head 174 large salary.
“Sunnis are generally more rational.” I guess that explains the amazing financial success of the Somali’s this woman has been representing. Making money any way you can seems quite rational to a lot of people of any faith. Especially those who are already born to wealth.
AI Overview: “Somalia is overwhelmingly Sunni. More than 99% of the population adheres to Sunni Islam, primarily following the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence. Islam is the official state religion and is deeply intertwined with Somali national and cultural identity.”
