Tim Mynett, the husband of embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), was spotted Tuesday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) raided their Washington, DC, home – which President Trump suggested the couple shouldn’t be able to afford.
Mynett, staring straight down at the sidewalk, was snapped walking the family dog – a yellow labrador retriever named Teddy – back to the home where Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents executed a search warrant and removed belongingsearly Monday morning.
The raid is believed to be part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somalia-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork.
Trump, who has long accused Omar of illegally marrying her brother, took to Truth Social Tuesday to suggest the “Squad” lawmaker may have been involved in “fraudulent activities” — citing the dramatic rise in the congresswoman’s reported net-worth, which she has since dismissed as an accounting discrepancy.
“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 also expressed disbelief that Omar and Mynett had the means to live in their Washington house — a four-bedroom, 1,900-square-foot Cape Cod assessed at about $600,000. Property records do not list Omar or Mynett as owners, and the home has been previously listed for rent.
“Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D.C.?” the president said. “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 initially valued his venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, and defunct California-based wine business, eStCru, at up to $30 million in Omar’s 2024 financial disclosure.
However, in the congresswoman’s 2025 financial disclosure report, Mynett reported no income from his venture capital firm and only $200 to $1,000 in income from the wine business, which shut down 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.
The post Ilhan Omar’s husband spotted for first time since DHS raid – as Trump questions how couple can afford their ‘lovely place in Washington’ appeared first on New York Post.
