Watchdog ‘Certainly Looking’ Into Omar After Rapid Net-Worth Spike Amid MN Fraud Bombshell

Uh-oh, Ms. Omar.

A conservative watchdog says it’s taking a hard look at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as outrage grows over the massive fraud scandal engulfing the state — and questions about her rapid wealth gains.

Peter Flaherty, who chairs the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), told The Post his team is “certainly looking” at Omar. The move comes days after The Post reported that her husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details online amid questions about her sudden surge in wealth.

Within about a year, Omar’s net worth mysteriously shot up to $30 million, a roughly 3,500% increase relative to 2023, according to her financial disclosures.

The gains largely came from her husband Tim Mynett’s businesses, including a California winery and his venture capital management firm Rose Lake Capital, headquartered in Washington, DC.

Rose Lake Capital’s value jumped from nearly zero in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in just a year, The Post previously reported.

Additionally, the firm bragged about its officers managing some $60 billion in “previous” assets.

Then came the cleanup: the names and bios of Rose Lake Capital’s nine officers were removed from LinkedIn — raising questions about why.

Mynett’s winery business, which faced fraud allegations previously, also saw its estimated value explode between $1 million and $5 million in 2024, according to Omar’s financial disclosures.

And looming over all of it: the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, in which hundreds of millions of dollars were fleeced from taxpayers.

Omar has publicly faulted the rush to push out social benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic — and the lack of guardrails. “I just think that a lot of the COVID programs were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created,” she told CNN earlier this month.

Conservative critics are demanding a deeper investigation into both Omar and Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s handling of the scandal.

“On Walz’s watch, Minnesota became a fraud factory, aided and defended by allies like Ilhan Omar. Investigate everything,” Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) posted on X. “Prosecute everyone involved.”
