[Chad Pergrim]

Husband'S net worth, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is scrutinizing how Representative Ilhan Omar's husband Tim Minick, could have made so much money since she entered Congress in 2019. It's rare for a panel besides the Ethics Committee to conduct such an inquiry. Most of Omar's possible wealth flows from her husband. A recent financial disclosure report shows that Minot owns assets of up to $30 million, much of it from his investment firm. It was worth up to 25 million two years ago, but as little as a dollar in 2023. Minot also had a stake in a California wine venture worth up to 5 million in 2024, but as little as 15,000 a few years ago. It's reportedly not made wine in years.
