US EditionIn Unusual Move, Republican Chairman Scrutinizes Companies Tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar's Husband
Rep. James Comer seeks records after financial disclosures showed a $5.9 million rise in firms linked to Ilhan Omar's husband, raising public concerns over the valuation increase.
- On Friday, Rep. James Comer, House Oversight Committee chair, sent a formal records request to Timothy Mynett about companies that jumped in value between 2023 and 2024.
- Her May disclosure showed two firms tied to her husband rose by at least $5.9 million, including eStCru, winery tied to Mynett, and Rose Lake Capital, investment firm tied to Mynett.
- The committee chair's step breaks with usual practice, targeting a lawmaker's spouse; such allegations are typically handled by the bipartisan House Ethics Committee, making this request highly unusual.
- Omar's office did not immediately respond, and there is no evidence of wrongdoing though President Donald Trump said last month the Department of Justice is looking into her finances.
- Amid sustained partisan attacks since her 2018 election, Omar has dismissed allegations as `misleading`, while Comer has enforced subpoenas for high-profile figures like Hillary and Bill Clinton.
