IN THE HOT SEAT: Questions swirl over ‘fake winery’ linked to Ilhan Omar, Biden DOJ had opened probe into her finances

4

Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is still in the hot seat, as questions are escalating on how she and her current husband, Tim Mynett, suddenly became multi-millionaires.

Over the weekend, attention was drawn to longtime Democratic operative William Hailer, who has teamed up with Mynett in venture capitalism and the wine industry.

Mynett and Hailer co-founded the political consulting firm E Street Group, which raked in almost $3 million alone from Omar’s House campaigns, and then went on to co-found Rose Lake Capital LLC, a venture capital firm, and eStCru, a wine company whose value mysteriously jump from between just $15,000 to $50,000 in 2023, then to between $1 million and $5 million in 2024.

On Monday, conservative host Benny Johnson revealed that the “wine company” whose value skyrocketed so high doesn’t appear to even EXIST.

Johnson announced on X:

How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery? This is insane. We investigated. Check this out…

Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’

In 2023 it was valued at $15k.
In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million (!!!)

This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except… the winery does not even exist:

– No phone line
– No physical winery
– Social media gone dark
– A barely functional ‘website’
– No wine lol

What is this?!

It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it’s all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud.

How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover.

Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called ‘The Devil‘s Lie.’

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress MUST investigate this fraud further.

OMAR IS UNDER INVESTIGATION

President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social post on Monday, “… the DOJ and Congress are looking at “Congresswoman” Illhan Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all.”

Defiantly, Omar fired back, writing, “Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking. Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of  “investigations” have found nothing. Get your goons out of Minnesota.”

However, it may be Omar herself who is “panicking.”

The New York Times announced Monday evening that the Biden Justice Department had previously opened an investigation into Omar’s finances, then quietly closed it without taking any action. The Times wrote:

The Justice Department under the Biden administration opened an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat of Minnesota, in 2024 to scrutinize her finances, campaign spending and interactions with a foreign citizen, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The inquiry, initiated by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the department’s public integrity unit in June of that year, appears to have stalled for lack of evidence, according to one of the people who requested anonymity to discuss internal department matters.
