Omar calls GOP probe into husband’s $30M business surge a ‘political stunt’ as records deadline passes
What's the endgame here?
The office of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Friday called a GOP-led investigation into her family's finances a "stunt," one day after a House deadline for her husband to turn over records tied to his companies’ rapid growth.
The House Oversight Committee had set Feb. 19 as a deadline for Tim Mynett, Omar’s husband, to provide information about the sudden success of two of his companies to the House Oversight Committee.
"This is all a political stunt. These sham accusations were referred to the Ethics Committee, and our office has not received any follow-up because this is a baseless, headline-generating speculation and a politically targeted attack on the Congresswoman," a spokesperson for Omar told Fox News Digital.
Omar’s office declined to say whether it had submitted the business records as requested by lawmakers.

eStCru LLC, a winery, and Rose Lake Capital LLC, a consulting firm, both owned partially by Mynett, increased sharply in reported value between 2023 and 2024, drawing questions from lawmakers about the source of the pair’s wealth.
In just one year, the two companies added roughly $30 million in combined value.
The Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., asked Mynett to produce communications regarding the companies’ latest audits and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), correspondence with any other federal agencies, and travel records to or from the United Arab Emirates, Somalia or Kenya.
Omar’s office called the probe a GOP-led distraction from other hot-topic issues.
"If Republicans were interested in real oversight, they would be looking at Trump and his family enriching their net worth by billions of dollars, as well as their connections to their pedophile friend, Jeffrey Epstein," Omar’s spokesperson said.

When asked if Omar and Mynett had turned in the requested documentation, a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told Fox News Digital that the committee has referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee, the body tasked with investigating financial disclosure statements and member misconduct.
"Americans have concerns about Rep. Omar’s skyrocketing wealth while in public office. The House Oversight Committee initiated a probe into these concerns and has asked the House Ethics Committee to do its job and review this matter," a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told Fox News …
