Winery owned by Ilhan Omar's husband shuttered due to fraud, James Comer says

What happened: House Oversight Chairman James Comer said a winery co-owned by Rep. Ilhan Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, was shut down amid fraud claims. Comer said the winery sold empty barrels to investors as "wine to be aged." Key numbers: Omar's 2023 disclosure listed a winery stake of $15,001 to $50,000; Why it matters: Comer said his initial investigation of Omar's financial disclosure form found a "huge discrepancy" and multiple fronts where a search warrant could be issued. The committee referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee months ago, which has not yet taken up the case.
