Tim Mynett, the husband of embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), was seen in public Tuesday for the first time since Department of Homeland Security agents raided the couple’s Washington, DC, residence — a home President Trump questioned whether they could afford.
Mynett kept his eyes fixed on the pavement as he walked the family’s yellow Labrador retriever, Teddy, back toward the house. Homeland Security Investigations agents had carried out a search warrant there early Monday, removing items from the property.
The search is believed to be connected to an ongoing criminal fraud investigation involving the immigration paperwork of the Somalia-born congresswoman.
Trump, who has repeatedly accused Omar of illegally marrying her brother, weighed in on Truth Social Tuesday. He suggested the “Squad” member could have been linked to “fraudulent activities,” pointing to a sharp increase in her reported net worth that Omar has attributed to an accounting error.
“Why did Ilhan Omar report a Net Worth of up to 30 Million Dollars just a short time ago, and then immediately say, ‘Oh, I made a mistake! It’s really $100,000,’” Trump wrote. “Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota? Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, 30 Million Dollars, and then she was forced to disavow because she never would have been able to report where that much money came from?
“She must have freaked out when she saw that money!” Trump added.

The president also questioned how Omar and Mynett could afford their Washington residence: a four-bedroom, 1,900-square-foot Cape Cod assessed at roughly $600,000. Property records do not identify either Omar or Mynett as the owner, and the home has previously been offered for rent.
“Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D.C.?” Trump wrote. “I didn’t know that Congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief, makes almost nothing, so it couldn’t have come from him.”
The Post previously reported that Mynett listed the value of his venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, along with his now-defunct California wine company, eStCru, at as much as $30 million in Omar’s 2024 financial disclosure.
In Omar’s 2025 disclosure, however, Mynett reported no earnings from Rose Lake Capital and between $200 and $1,000 in income from the wine business, which closed in April.
“How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia?” Trump continued. “America wants answers, and we want them, NOW!”
Omar’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
