A California winery owned by Representative Ilhan Omar’s husband was shut down weeks after Congressional Republicans demanded answers about the reported wealth of the Minnesota Democrat’s family.

At the heart of the wealth was a Santa Rosa, California-based winery, eStCru LLC, which was co-owned by Omar’s husband Tim Mynett. California business records show the winery shut down on April 4, two months after House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer wrote to Mynett asking for financial records.

In March, Omar revised the filing—a common practice among members of Congress—and downgraded the assets to $0 and the joint assets with her husband to under $100,000. The amended filing also shows that the congresswoman held $15,001 to $50,000 in student loan debt. Omar’s representatives blamed the discrepancy on ā€œincomplete information from Mr. Mynett’s businesses’ accountants in good faith and deference to professional judgment.ā€

ā€œThe amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: the Congresswoman is not a millionaire,ā€ Jacklyn Rogers, a spokesperson for Omar, told Newsweek. Rogers added that the original filing listed the assets without their respective liabilities and ā€œsignificantly overstatedā€ Mynett’s net worth.

A representative for eStCru told the New York Post in February that the winery was no longer operational, and, according to the California Secretary of State’s business registry portal, it was terminated on April 4.


Nooo, nothing untoward going on there at all.....Mere coincidence.

Ha! It stinks like a dead carp left out in the sun.
