A conservative watchdog is scrutinizing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances as outrage mounts over the massive fraud scandal engulfing her home state of Minnesota and questions about her rapid wealth gains.
Peter Flaherty, who chairs the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), told The Post that his team is “certainly looking” at Omar (D-Minn.).
The revelation comes days after The Post reported that her husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details online amid questions about her sudden surge in wealth.
Within about a year, Omar’s net worth mysteriously shot up to $30 million, a roughly 3,500% increase relative to 2023, according to her financial disclosures.
The gains largely came from her husband Tim Mynett’s businesses, including a California winery and his venture capital management firm Rose Lake Capital, headquartered in Washington, DC.
Rose Lake Capital’s value jumped from nearly zero in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in just a year, The Post previously reported.
Additionally, the firm bragged about its officers managing some $60 billion in “previous” assets.
Recently, the names and bios of Rose Lake Capital’s nine officers were removed from LinkedIn, raising questions about why.
Mynett’s winery business, which faced fraud allegations previously, also saw its estimated value explode between $1 million and $5 million in 2024, according to Omar’s financial disclosures.
Further fueling the recent questions about Omar’s personal finances is the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal plaguing her home state, in which hundreds of millions of dollars were fleeced from taxpayers.
Omar has publicly faulted the rush to push out social benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of guardrails for the scandal.
