BUSTED: Ilhan Omar Caught Trying to Funnel $1M to a “Substance Abuse Clinic” Operating Out of a Restaurant Run by Three People at the Same Address — GOP TORPEDOES the Earmark

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.

During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.

“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

“I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.”

Ilhan Omar: ICE Carrying Out State-Sanctioned Violence ‘Tragically Led to this Murder’

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) described an ICE agent shooting a woman in Minneapolis as a “murder” caused by “state-sanctioned violence.”

Host Jake Tapper said, “I’m sure you’re hearing from so many of your constituents in a statement you put out when you described your anger over the tragic shooting, you described the victim, Renee Goode, as a legal observer of the ICE operation. What more can you tell us about her?”

Omar said, “Yeah, that’s the information that we have gotten. There might be new information coming out. But it is a completely tragic day for us here in Minneapolis and in Minnesota. To see this kind of, terrorizing of our community, really is, is harmful. And I pray for the loved ones of, Renee today as they are dealing with the loss of life in their family.”

She added, “ICE has been carrying out state-sanctioned violence in our communities. We have seen them terrorize so many of citizens in the Fifth District and across Minnesota. And that has tragically led to this murder that we all watched on TV. And so, it is not helpful for us to have ICE agents unlawfully just carrying out these ridiculous raids that are not resulting in any sort of arrests, that have no explanation of why they are there. They are disturbing peaceful communities that are just trying to live out their lives. And I join our mayor and our senator in asking them to get the heck out of our city.”

Fraud claims, wine money, Sharia: Ethical storms around Ilhan Omar’s husband

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.

Ilhan Omar faces investigation after outrage over massive wealth gains and aid fraud in Minnesota

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.

Ilhan Omar’s hubby’s $30M firm quietly scrubs names from website – as ‘Squad’ member faces mounting questions on sudden wealth amid Minnesota welfare fraud

Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details — including former Obama officials — as scrutiny grows over the family’s skyrocketing wealth, The Post has learned.

Omar (D-MN) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year — as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in Minnesota.

Close to 90 people have been charged so far, including at least three with direct ties to the lefty Squad member, though she has not been charged.

It was Somalia-born Omar — who was seen in a resurfaced video last month dishing out food in a restaurant now at the heart of the scandal — who introduced the legislation critics say paved the way for what the feds have called the largest fraud of the pandemic.

The Jimmy Choo wearing socialist introduced the MEALS Act in Congress in 2020, relaxing oversight of government sponsored children’s meals programs during the pandemic, which critics say allowed fraudsters to claim they served millions of meals without verification, while pocketing millions of dollars in government subsidies.

Shortly after the scheme played out, Omar’s husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, launched Rose Lake Capital in 2022, a venture capital management firm.

Did Rep. Omar Really Marry her Brother?

Rep. Ilhan Omar did, in fact, marry her brother. This is not a rumor but a documented fact.

Ahmed Nur Said Elmi came to the US from London in 2002. He was living as an openly gay man and his Islamic family did not support his lifestyle. A journalist at Free Beacon ran Ilhan Omar’s name through the Minnesota Official Marriage System and found two marriage certificates. One was to her public husband, Ahmed Aden, who later changed his name to Ahmed Hirsi. They applied for a marriage license in 2002, but never legalized the marriage. There is a second certificate dated 2009 for Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Despite being a devout Muslim, her marriage certificate was signed by Christian pastor Wilecia Harris.

Omar’s campaign and lawyers insist she is married to Ahmed Ade,n but there is no official court documentation to show that the couple ever wed. They say that he is the biological father of her three children. However, voter registration records do show Hirsi and Omar living at the same address. Omar and Hirsi filed joint tax returns in 2014 and 2015 despite not being legally married. The paperwork shows that, under US law, her legal husband is Ahmed Nur Said Elmi—her biological brother.

“Like a lot of families, she and Hirsi, the father of their three children, have had ups and downs, have weathered some storms, but what matters is that they came out of it together,” [campaign spokesman Ben] Goldfarb said. He declined to offer more details.

Omar’s campaign has deemed any questioning [Donald] Trump-style misogyny, racism, anti-immigration rhetoric and Islamophobic division.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Net Worth Jumped from $51K to $30 Million in One Year

Democrat “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has denied being worth millions of dollars, but her latest financial disclosure tells a different story.

In February, she said people were falsely claiming she was worth millions, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Monday.

However, the Beacon’s article shows her net worth in the multimillion range. The outlet, citing a financial disclosure report, continued:

Omar reported in her latest financial disclosure that she and her husband, former political consultant Tim Mynett, accumulated a net worth at the end of 2024 ranging from at least $6 million to $30 million. Their wealth is derived almost entirely from the value of Mynett’s ownership stake in his two companies that, together, were worth no more than $51,000 at the end of 2023. The exact value of Omar’s personal fortune at the end of 2024 is unclear — lawmakers disclose the value of their holdings and debts in ranges. Still, the figures in Omar’s latest disclosures show that her and her husband’s net worth skyrocketed by at least 3,500 percent in just one year.

The Democrat’s surge in wealth is due to Mynett’s two businesses which are a winery and a venture capital firm, per the New York Post.

In February, Omar claimed that conservatives were unfairly targeting her over her finances, the outlet said.

“Since getting elected, there has been a coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign claiming all sorts of wild things, including the ridiculous claim I am worth millions of dollars, which is categorically false,” she stated, adding, “I am a working mom with student loan debt. Unlike some of my colleagues — and similar to most Americans — I am not a millionaire and am raising a family while maintaining a residence in both Minneapolis and DC, which are among the most expensive housing markets in the country.”

Trump Administration Responds to Ilhan Omar’s Claim that ICE Agents Targeted Her Son and Pulled Him Over

The Trump Administration has fired back at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she made a disturbing claim about her son being targeted by immigration enforcement recently.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Omar alleged on Sunday during an interview with a local news outlet that ICE agents pulled her son over and demanded that he produce documentation to prove that he was a U.S. citizen.

Once he produced his passport identification, they let him go.

“Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by ICE agents, and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go,” Omar claimed in an interview with Esme Murphy on WCCO.

Omar also claimed during the interview that immigration agents previously entered a mosque attended by her son. The agents supposedly left without incident.

On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security responded on X to Omar’s assertion about her son being pulled over and did not mince words.

“ICE has absolutely ZERO record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son,” the post reads. “With no evidence, it is shameful that Congresswoman Omar would level accusations to demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt.”

“Allegations that ICE engages in ‘racial profiling’ are disgusting, reckless, and categorically FALSE. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity,” the post adds.

“Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, DHS law enforcement uses ‘reasonable suspicion’ to make arrests.”

Tom Homan Looking at Ilhan Omar’s Immigration Files Over Alleged Fraudulent Marriage to Her Brother

Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan said in an interview Monday night on Newsmax that he had asked for the immigration records of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to be pulled for his review over allegations the Somali refugee married her brother to help him gain residency in the United States.

President Donald Trump brought up the allegation against Omar while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office last week.

Omar appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday but was not asked about the allegation of immigration fraud.

Beyond the Pale: Ilhan Omar Says Somalis Are the Actual Victims of the Massive Somali Fraud Scandal

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar tried to play the victim when questioned Sunday about the massive fraud perpetrated by those of Somali descent in her state and district, but her argument rings hollow.

CBS News “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan introduced the subject, noting that the Justice Department uncovered and prosecuted more than $1 billion in fraudulent payments, mostly going to those from the Somali community in Minnesota.

“Of the 87 people charged, all but eight are of Somali descent, and that has added to the spotlight being put specifically on your community,” Brennan said.

“Why do you think this fraud was allowed to get so widespread?” the host asked.

“I want to say, you know, this also has an impact on Somalis, because we are also taxpayers in Minnesota,” Omar replied.

“We also could have benefited from the program and the money that was stolen. And so it’s been really frustrating for people to not acknowledge the fact that we’re also — as Minnesotans, as taxpayers — really upset and angry about the fraud that has occurred,” she said.
