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.
“We’re not experts in Islamic law — but we’re pretty sure scamming the American people for a living violates every religion,” slammed Republican National Committee Press Secretary Kiersten Pels.

Maybe they just make grape juice.
She claimed to be married to her brother to get him a green card. They should both be denaturalized and deported for immigration fraud. Get on it Blondi!
‘This is my shocked face...’
Every Islamic stricture has an out clause that says it’s OK if it screws over an infidel.
Winery with No Grapes ,LOL
“Tim Mynett converted to Islam” Idiot, he did it for the money. Islam has nothing to offer; phony religion, phony “prophet,” phony “holy” book. A phony religion built on lies and jihad conquest.
The NY Post wants to tell its readers what’s Islamic law
That’s the wimpy senselessness of Americans
They and their readers don’t even know the laws of their own religions. Most Catholics I know haven’t a clue beyond what they learned as little kids, such as- you have to constantly review, teach and revisit the catechism. A majority don’t know that to not go to Mass every Sunday is a mortal sin. They yell when they hear this. But it is true That’s their knowledge
Islam allows for the breaking of its rules for the greater purpose of invading and making inroads. People can yell about this. However. It is teue
Quality Vieyard
As long as the Mullahs (local & in Tehran) received their 10%, they will let this slide.
The dude who married her is one sick pup. Not the brother, the other one.
The name is BONDI you troll. And in case you haven't been paying attention, (of course you haven't), they're all over this case.
Patience, jackass, patience........
NO ONE IN PARKING LOT
NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE
LOL! You win.
He should have bought a car wash for laundering money, like Walter White, instead of a winery.
Let me help you with Islam
It is against Islamic law for YOU to drink
It’s not against Islamic law for THEM to drink. The largest wine collection in the world is owned by a Muslim. You must be in a certain social strata.
Think of it as being like heroin. They can manufacture it but not not use it except when they can.
Book’em, Danno.
I smell a fatwa in her future.
RE: Maybe they just make grape juice.
Ilhan still will “welch” on her legal agreements and keep the money for herself. 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍷
Origin only assumed, not proven.
1857, racing slang, “to refuse or avoid payment of money laid as a bet,” probably a disparaging use of the national name Welsh.
Many people boycotted Welch’s Grape Juice when they falsely assumed the owner was John Birch Society’s Robert Welch. He wasn’t.
“Welch’s grape juice was founded in 1869 by Dr. Thomas Bramwell Welch, a Methodist minister and dentist who created pasteurized grape juice as a non-alcoholic alternative to communion wine. It is not related to Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, which manufactured candy, not juice.”
RE: breaking Islamic law
Hubby: Law, pshaww, we want our money.
