Ilhan Omar faces ethics complaint over not disclosing husband's assets

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) violated House ethics rules in failing to disclose her husband’s assets and liabilities stemming from his marijuana and wine businesses, according to a conservative watchdog group.

Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad” in Congress, should be investigated by the Office of Congressional Ethics over the lack of disclosure, the National Legal and Policy Center argued in a complaint filed on Wednesday with the independent agency. The complaint cited a June story in the Minnesota Reformer on how Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, and his business partner, Will Hailer, are being accused of fraud and breach of contract in connection to their marijuana and wine ventures, which collapsed.
