Fraud claims, wine money, Sharia: Ethical storms around Ilhan Omar’s husband
Story by JERUSALEM POST STAFF • 3h

A fresh wave of legal challenges facing Tim Mynett, the husband of US Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), has brought renewed scrutiny to the couple. This attention focuses not only on business ethics but also on the apparent contradictions between Mynett’s commercial interests and the religious identity central to Omar’s public persona.
 
Mynett, a political consultant turned venture capitalist, is currently the subject of a lawsuit alleging fraud and breach of contract in connection with "eStCru," a California-based wine business in which he is a partner.

The lawsuit, filed in Washington, DC, claims that Mynett and his business partner, Will Hailer, defrauded investor Naeem Mohd. According to court documents, Mohd alleges he was persuaded to invest $300,000 based on a guarantee of a 200% return within 18 months, but the plaintiff's promises were never fulfilled.

Although the principal investment was reportedly repaid after a delay, the lawsuit alleges that the promised profits were never paid. It accuses the partners of misrepresenting the company’s financial health. Mynett has denied the allegations, characterizing the matter as a contract dispute.

Please refresh my memory, is he the husband that is a brother, or the brother that is a husband?

In the wake of an explosive and ever-widening alleged Minnesota fraud scandal involving day care centers, healthcare and autism agencies and other social services in which individuals close to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN5) have been implicated, President Trump on Wednesday termed Omar a “scammer” and suggested she be deported to Somalia, the country of her birth.



While investigations of the abuse of government funds in largely Somali enclaves in and around Minneapolis dating to 2015 were largely ignored by the mainstream media, a November 19, 2025 article by Christopher Rufo and Ryan Thorpe in City Journal broke through the inertia, giving way to on-the-ground citizen journalist Nick Shirley and others taking video footage of taxpayer-funded daycare centers appearing to have no children inside during what would be expected to be normal working hours.

Shirley’s recent video ignited a firestorm of investigations on the part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); its subsidiary, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); the FBI and U.S. Treasury Department, among others.

On Tuesday, DHS halted all federal funds for child care to the State of Minnesota totaling approximately $185 million, Fox9 reported, pending the outcome of its investigations.

During the Biden era, Omar advocated for an expansion of the “Feeding Our Future” agency in the form of the 2020 MEALS Act, which provided COVID-19 “pandemic” funding for child nutrition programs traditionally provided in schools.

Because of the COVID-era lockdowns and school closures, many Minneapolis-area children were considered “vulnerable,” and the meal program was expanded to in-home delivery.

However, according to the Justice Department in a September 20, 2022 press release, $250 million was purloined by at least 47 indicted individuals “to purchase luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property abroad.”

As of Monday, that number had grown to 75, with “dozens of convictions” secured as of last July, according to Fox News.

I'm not saying her net wealth gain of 30 million over the last years was from fraud, just most of it.

RE reply 2 above:
"...President Trump on Wednesday termed Omar a “scammer” and suggested she be deported to Somalia, the country of her birth."

It wouldn't surprise me that if the investigation gets too close to her, that she takes "a vacation" to Somalia (or some other African country without an extradition treaty), and doesn't come back...
