Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has launched an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) husband’s dealings over suspicions of corruption.

In a Wednesday letter to Timothy Mynett, Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, connected the inquiry to recent investigations into fraud among the Somali community in Minneapolis. He cited the immense amount of money Mynett’s companies have made in recent years as justifying the investigation. Comer pointed out that eStCru and Rose Lake Capital, which Mynett holds ownership stakes in, shot from $51,000 to around $30 million in value from 2023 to 2024.
