Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details — including former Obama officials — as scrutiny grows over the family’s skyrocketing wealth, The Post has learned.
Omar (D-MN) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year — as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in Minnesota.
Close to 90 people have been charged so far, including at least three with direct ties to the lefty Squad member, though she has not been charged.
It was Somalia-born Omar — who was seen in a resurfaced video last month dishing out food in a restaurant now at the heart of the scandal — who introduced the legislation critics say paved the way for what the feds have called the largest fraud of the pandemic.
The Jimmy Choo wearing socialist introduced the MEALS Act in Congress in 2020, relaxing oversight of government sponsored children’s meals programs during the pandemic, which critics say allowed fraudsters to claim they served millions of meals without verification, while pocketing millions of dollars in government subsidies.
Shortly after the scheme played out, Omar’s husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, launched Rose Lake Capital in 2022, a venture capital management firm.
The company saw its reported value go from nearly zero in 2023, to between $5 million and $25 million in just a year, and somehow claims to having already amassed $60 billion assets under management — an amount many money managers on Wall Street only dream of.
“There’s a lot of strange things going on,” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center. “She was basically broke when she came into office and now she’s worth perhaps up to

Bondi is all over this. /s
Seems like perhaps a federal criminal investigation could be warranted?
I know, crazy idea...
Strike that. That's unseemly to investigate elected officials. The Democrats would never do that to our side if they had total control.
Ihlan Omar got rich off it, guaranteed.
Yup
Please have concrete evidence to finally get rid of her!
“Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar...”
Not nearly embattled enough as far as I’m concerned.
She isn’t going anywhere. None of them are.
They all belong to the same club.
“Please have concrete evidence to finally get rid of her!”
Sadly, I don’t see that ever happening.
“Ilhan Omar’s hubby” Do they mean her brother?
I would be put in prison for doing what she has done. So would you. Enough is enough. Lock her up. Send them home.
0 investigations of these democrat filth,
Congress and DOJ reps are too busy going on Fox News to prosecute these cases.
No. This is hubby number 3 (or four).
She married her Somali sweetheart, to whom she bore some children. She divorced him to marry her brother, but then, just when he got his papers, she divorced him and re-married husband #1. Apparently husband #1 and she kept dating, while she was married to #2.
Finally she divorced number #1 and #3 and married current hubby. American leftie, not even African American.
Cockroaches abhor the light.
Omar the Moneymaker is the head of the Sammy Mafia Crime Syndicate and Acme Coyote Money Laundering in the U.S.
I’d like to see all congress critters answer how they became rich on $175,000 per year.
