A California winery tied to Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, has ceased operations as questions mount over the couple’s financial disclosures.
Business records show the winery closed on April 4, just weeks after House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer raised concerns about significant changes in reported asset values tied to entities connected to Mynett.
In a February letter, Comer pointed to filings indicating that two companies linked to Mynett saw their estimated value jump from tens of thousands of dollars in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. He said the increase raised questions about the source of investment and whether outside influence could be involved.
Omar has since disputed those figures, with her office saying the valuations were filed in error and that her household net worth is actually below $100,000, according to reporting cited in the article.
The winery, launched in 2021, was not a traditional vineyard but operated as a label that partnered with producers to bottle and distribute wine. It has now shut down alongside a related venture capital entity that is also reportedly no longer active.
The business had faced criticism and skepticism online in recent months, with users noting the absence of a functioning website or clear distribution channels. Some also questioned whether the winery was actively selling products prior to its closure.
Reports have also pointed to prior financial disputes, including allegations from investors and claims from former employees that they were not paid, adding to the controversy surrounding the operation.
The closure comes as congressional scrutiny continues into the financial disclosures, though no formal conclusions from that probe have been announced.
