James Comer Found the Smoking Gun in Ilhan Omar’s Bank Records That Just Forced the Ethics Committees Hand

Ilhan Omar told Congress she was worth $30 million.

Then Congress started asking questions and she changed it to $95,000.

Now James Comer has done something that could end her career in Congress.

The Financial Disclosure That Started a 30 Million Dollar Investigation

Omar's 2024 financial disclosure, filed in May 2025, listed household assets between $6 million and $30 million.

The surge was tied to two companies co-owned by her husband Tim Mynett – Rose Lake Capital LLC, a venture capital firm, and eStCru LLC, a California winery.

One year earlier, those same companies were worth a combined $51,000.

When Republicans started asking how a winery with no vineyard, no tasting room, no active phone line, and no social media presence since 2023 was suddenly worth up to $5 million – Omar's office blamed an accountant.

The amended filing, submitted March 26, 2026, wiped both companies' net values to zero and slashed the couple's total assets to between $18,004 and $95,000.

Nine days after that amendment, California business records show eStCru LLC was officially dissolved.

The Investigation Comer Won't Let Go

House Oversight Chairman James Comer had already been watching.

In February 2026, Comer sent a formal letter to Tim Mynett demanding financial records, SEC filings, and all documents related to travel in Somalia, Kenya, and the United Arab Emirates by anyone connected to his companies.

The February 19 deadline passed with no public confirmation Mynett ever responded.

Comer's letter also flagged that Rose Lake Capital's website had claimed the firm was staffed by five former diplomats with experience in over 80 countries – names that were subsequently scrubbed from the site once investigators started looking.

Comer referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee, which has jurisdiction to investigate Omar directly – not just her husband's companies.

Rep. Tom Emmer told Fox News that Omar and her accountant should both be fired and that she "does not deserve to be in Congress."

The Feeding Our Future Connection Comer Is Investigating

The House Oversight Committee's February letter documents that eStCru was already in legal trouble before its valuation exploded.

A Washington D.C. restaurateur named Naeem Mohd sued in October 2023, claiming he invested roughly $300,000 after being promised a 200% return in 18 months.

The suit alleged Mynett "fraudulently misrepresented that eStCru LLC was a legitimate company."

Court records from February 2024 – one year before the company appeared on Omar's disclosure valued at up to $5 million – showed eStCru had $650 in its bank account and Rose Lake Capital had $42.44.

Omar's lawyers told the Office of Congressional Conduct it was all an accounting error – that the original filing listed assets without factoring in liabilities and never intended to overstate Mynett's net worth.

That explanation requires believing two firms with a combined $692 in cash somehow generated valuations of up to $30 million the following year – and that nobody noticed until Congress came asking.

The Pattern Democrats Don't Want You to Notice

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton raised the question publicly: how do previously unreported liabilities erase tens of millions in reported wealth almost entirely?

Rose Lake Capital had been pitching itself to international investors as a globe-spanning operation with deep government connections – solar projects across Africa, deals in the Middle East, a partner who flew to Dubai on a $10,699 ticket to close a deal there.

The advisory roster included former Obama-era ambassadors and Democratic Party officials whose names vanished from the website once Comer's investigation became public.

Comer made that point directly in his letter to Mynett: "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."

Omar's office called it a "political stunt."

While more than 70 of her Minnesota constituents have now been convicted in the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, the Ethics Committee holds the power to put Omar under oath – and Tim Mynett still has not answered a single question from Congress.
