Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has many skeletons in her closet.
One is threatening to surface.
But Ilhan Omar is desperate to keep this ugly truth buried.
As West Wing Daily reports:
Prosecutors continue to uncover new layers to a scheme where Somali fraudsters looted $9 billion from Minnesota’s social services programs.
“The magnitude cannot be overstated,” First Assistant US Attorney Joe Thompson announced. “What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s staggering, industrial-scale fraud.
“Every day, we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme,” Thompson added.
The $9 billion stolen by Somali migrants is nearly equal to the nation of Somalia’s $12 billion Gross Domestic Product.
As the scandal grows, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is facing increasing scrutiny.
Omar is under fire for introducing the 2020 MEALS Act, which gutted oversight of the kinds of welfare programs Omar’s fellow Somali’s looted.
Now Omar’s husband, political consultant Tim Mynet, is attracting attention for his company, Rose Lake Capital, which he launched in 2022.
The New York Post reported the company’s bottom line boomed shortly thereafter.
“The company saw its reported value go from nearly zero in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in just a year, and touted its officers’ $60 billion in “previous” assets under management — an amount many Wall Street money managers only dream of,” the Post reported.
Experts questioned Rose Lake Capital’s rapid growth and how Ilhan Omar went from broke to a net worth of $30 million in just a few short years.
“There’s a lot of strange things going on,” attorney for National Legal and Policy Center Paul Kamenar told the Post. “She was basically broke when she came into office, and now she’s worth perhaps up to $30 million … she needs to come clean on these assets.”
Rose Lake Capital raised even more eyebrows by deleting nine corporate officers from its website as prosecutors brought more charges in the Somali migrant welfare fraud scheme.
“Between September and October — when federal prosecutors announced charges to eight more individuals, including six of Somali descent, for their roles in the welfare scheme — the names and bios of Rose Lake Capital’s nine officers and advisors were removed from the website. None of them were charged in the fraud,” the Post reported.
“These names include lobbyist and former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli; former Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus; DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman; former DNC treasurer William Derrough, and former ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank Keith Mestrich, who once described Amalgamated as “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party,” the Post report went on to say.
President Trump is already calling to deport Ilhan Omar based on the credible allegations that she committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother as part of a scheme to win him citizenship.
Now, the puzzling conduct and skyrocketing bank account numbers for Omar’s husband’s company in the wake of what is the largest fraud scheme in American history are raising even more eyebrows.
