James Comer demands business records from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband

Although it’s common for American politicians and their families to rapidly gain net worth — despite modest official pay — Omar and her husband Tim Mynett have found themselves in a mounting storm of Republican inquiries.

Omar, who was born in Somalia, and Mynett, an investor, were investigated by the Justice Department beginning under Democratic President Joe Biden, but the pair have not faced criminal charges and deny wrongdoing.

Comer’s request for documents could be a prelude to a subpoena forcing their delivery — after the White House suggested Mynett may have been connected with the mass defrauding of social services programs in Minnesota.

Mynett’s firm Rose Lake Capital had just $42.44 in its bank account as of 2022, according to court filings. Omar’s 2024 House financial disclosures, however, show Rose Lake Capital was worth up to $25 million.

Spokespeople for Omar and Mynett did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
