Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and her husband Tim Mynett are being investigated by the House Oversight Committee for a sudden surge in wealth. The couple's businesses reportedly grew from $51,000 to $30 million in just a year, raising questions about their business practices.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer has raised concerns about the couple's finances, stating that his team's lawyers are exploring the option of subpoenaing Mynett. Omar has denied wrongdoing and slammed the probe.
The investigation comes at a time when a massive fraud scandal has emerged from Minnesota, with federal prosecutors estimating losses of at least $9 billion in Medicaid-related services and other state programs.
