House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer has demanded access to the financial docs of the super-wealthy companies owned by Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband.
In a tweet posted early Friday, he noted that the companies grew in value from just $51,000 to over $30 million in just one year, “with zero investor information” ever publicly disclosed.
🚨NEW🚨
I’m demanding financial information from companies linked to Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband.
His companies reportedly went from $51K to $30 MILLION in one year — with zero investor information.
So we want to know:
Who’s funding this?
And who’s buying access? pic.twitter.com/mDluOqE9Wg

In a letter written to Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, Comer expounded further on the discrepancy.
“Financial disclosure forms, filed by your wife Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes in, went from being worth as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024,” he wrote.
“Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife,” he added.
Comer also cited the following report from 2024, suggesting that he “may have raised money from investors using misleading information”:

Filed by the Minnesota Reformer, the report documented how Mynett & a friend promised an investor that they’d triple his money ($300,000) if he just invested with them, but then later reneged on the promise.
Comer expounded further on this as well in his letter.
“In 2021, you reportedly promised a Washington, D.C. area restaurant owner a 200 percent return on a $300,000 investment in eStCru within eighteen months, plus 10 percent monthly interest if that return was not paid on time,” he wrote. “However, you did not return the money until the investor sued you for fraud in October 2023.”
“The lawsuit alleges that you, ‘fraudulently misrepresented … that eStCru LLC was a legitimate company.’ Media reports in 2024 also indicate that eStCru was in financial distress and could not pay its winemaker in 2023,” he added.
Even stranger still, eStCru’s valuation increased by up to $5 million in a single year despite its alleged financial distress.
The report also documented how Mynett was once linked to a cannabis company that also made “fantastical promises” that never materialized.
This isn’t entrepreneurship; it’s the textbook definition of a shell company used to inflate assets and potentially launder funds. Add in the investor fraud lawsuits against Mynett, the sudden multimillion-dollar jumps in their other ventures (like Rose Lake Capital), and the… pic.twitter.com/Jrd37BvqEt

Mynett specifically co-founded eSt Ventures with his business partner Will Hailer. This company was linked to a 2022 investment deal with South Dakota cannabis entrepreneurs operating Dakota Natural Growers and 605 Cannabis.
According to lawsuits and reports, Hailer promised the entrepreneurs that if they invested $3.54 million, eSt Ventures could more than triple their capital within days or weeks to fund growth operations and a testing facility, claiming to have secured $6 million from outside investors and another $1.5 million locally.
Throughout the summer of 2022, Hailer allegedly provided repeated assurances that millions in funding were imminent, but these promises did not materialize.
Comer’s letter, meanwhile, continued by raising concerns about another company owned by Omar’s husband.
“Financial records also show a sharp increase in Rose Lake Capital’s valuation, which Representative Omar’s 2024 Financial Disclosure Report describes as a ‘venture capital management’ organization,” he wrote. “Very little public information is available about the company. Its website claims that Rose Lake Capital manages $60 billion in assets.”
“According to Rose Lake Capital’s website, it is staffed by five former diplomats who have experience in over 80 countries and involvement in 11 free trade agreements. However, the website does not name specific employees or advisors and no asset portfolio information,” he added.
