Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is facing renewed scrutiny over her family’s reported wealth as Minnesota remains engulfed in multiple high-profile fraud investigations tied to government programs. House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said this week that committee attorneys are considering whether to issue a subpoena to Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, regarding his business activities, Breitbart News reported.
Comer told the New York Post that investigators are seeking answers about how the couple’s net worth allegedly rose from modest means to as much as $30 million over a short period of time.
“We’re going to get answers, whether it’s through the Ethics Committee or the Oversight Committee, one of the two,” Comer said.
In 2025, Omar publicly denied claims that she was worth millions of dollars and accused conservatives of unfairly targeting her, according to Breitbart News.
“There are a lot of questions as to how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years,” Comer told the Post. “It’s not possible. It’s not. I’m a money guy. It’s not possible.”
Speaking separately to investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, Comer said Omar’s reported net worth “just out of nowhere skyrocketed.”
He said congressional investigators believe the increase is tied to two investment funds operated by Mynett.
