The dispute comes amid heightened scrutiny of Omar’s finances. A previous report indicated her net worth had surged significantly in 2024 based on the original disclosure, which she has since disavowed.

Mynett, who has worked as a political consultant, is tied to several business ventures. These include a Washington, D.C.-based venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, and a winery in Santa Rosa, California.

In the initial filing, the winery listed assets between $1 million and $5 million, while Rose Lake Capital reported assets ranging from $5 million to $25 million. The firm had also previously claimed on its website to manage tens of billions in assets.

However, Omar’s amended disclosure — filed after inquiries from the Office of Congressional Conduct — reflected those businesses as having no net value once liabilities were accounted for.

A spokesperson for the congresswoman said the updated filing supports her position.

“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” spokeswoman Jacklyn Rogers said. “The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”

Republicans have seized on the issue, calling for further scrutiny. Tom Emmer, the House GOP whip, said investigations are ongoing.

“If Ilhan Omar is discovered to have been involved in any or to have benefited in any way from any fraud, she must be held accountable,” Emmer said. “By the way, that includes marriage fraud.”
