A California winery co-owned by Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, has shut its doors for good amid scrutiny of the congresswoman’s family wealth.
The winery ceased business operations on April 4, two months after Republicans sent a letter demanding answers into the discrepancies between Omar’s congressional financial disclosures for 2024 and the one she filed just one year earlier, according to California business records.
In a February letter to Mynett, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said financial disclosures filed by his wife Omar “show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes in, went from being worth as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.”
Comer said the discrepancy sparked “serious public concerns” about how the Santa Rosa winery and venture capital firm “increased so dramatically in value only a year after reporting very limited assets.”
“Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife.”
This week Omar claimed she and Mynett’s net worth wasn’t actually tens of millions of dollars after all, and they actually have less than $100,000 combined, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Her office told the outlet those numbers were made in error, and blamed their accountant.
Mynett’s business venture capital and boutique winery was started in the fall of 2021, after his prior consulting firm shut down.

I’ll allege that he’s the money laundry.
Have you seen photos of her other two husbands? They don’t look anything like this one.
I think she married him as the “laundry service”. It works both ways, he gets influence, she gets cover.
I certainly can’t imagine him ever wanting to be intimate with this nasty creature.
Is Hunter Biden an artist?
Investigative journalists have reported that this alleged winery has no location and no phone number. Another scam by illegals.
“Winery/medicare facility?”
A how to make wine learning center.
Disgusting that we are talking about this arrogant, evil POS in America.
Was this laundering money?

Remember the reports of suitcases with millions in cash flying out of Minneapolis airport every week ?
I do.
Maybe they could turn the winery into a ‘Learing’ center? Or a hospice, or any one the amazing Somali entrepreneurial adventures that just seem to magically do well. Especially without staff. Or customers. Amazing I tell ya!
The only pouring was federal funds into the winery.
Don’t muslims eschew alcohol?

With a proposed increase in value, the borrowing ability might have increased and borrowed money is NOT taxed. But borrowed money is repaid with taxed money. Were they able to borrow against the increased value?
And forgiven debt is in theory a taxable event.
> Were they able to borrow against the increased value?<
Let’s ask Tish James.

Arrest and deport these criminal alien losers. Seize their assets. Throw them into prison at hard labor before deportation. What worthless subhuman garbage.
Was he actually selling wine or was it a money-laundering operation?
