House Oversight Opens Probe Into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Finances, Weighs Subpoena of Husband

House Oversight’s new inquiry focuses on disclosure entries plus spouse‑linked businesses following reports of multi‑billion fraud in Minnesota.

Overview

  • Chairman James Comer said committee lawyers are exploring compelling testimony from Tim Mynett regarding his business activities.
  • Omar’s 2024 disclosure shows household assets valued at up to $30 million after previously negligible holdings.
  • Court records indicate Rose Lake Capital held $42.44 in a 2022 account yet was later listed at $5 million to $25 million, and related websites and LinkedIn pages removed adviser names.
  • Federal law‑enforcement sources told reporters they are reviewing politicians connected to the Minnesota social‑services fraud, with no public finding tying Omar or Mynett directly to it.
  • Omar denies wrongdoing and dismissed questions in a recorded exchange; no charges have been announced, and any findings could be referred to House Ethics.
