An investigation into ESTCRU winery, co-owned by Ilhan Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, suggests the business may not be legitimate and raises questions about potential fraud linked to Omar's financial situation.
• Journalistic Findings: Angela Rose visited the winery's listed address in Santa Rosa, California, and found it has significant discrepancies, suggesting it operates as a shell company.
• Lack of Business License: There is no valid business license for ESTCRU at this address, which is home to over 40 other licensed wineries. The property owner confirmed that Omar's winery is not located there.
• Financial Surge: The winery reportedly generated $15,000 in 2024, which skyrocketed to $5 million in 2025, despite producing no wine.
• Increased Scrutiny: Omar’s financial disclosure shows a drastic increase in assets, from $40,000 to between $6 million and $30 million. Most of this wealth is reportedly linked to the winery and a venture capital firm.
• Federal Investigation: The Justice Department began probing Omar's finances and campaign spending in June 2024. Although the investigation faced setbacks, renewed efforts have emerged to investigate potential improprieties.
• Political Context: Former President Trump has commented on Omar's wealth increase and the ongoing investigation, connecting it to broader fraud inquiries in Minnesota.
• Recent Controversy: Omar was recently accused of staging an incident to draw attention away from the investigations into her wealth.
The findings of Angela Rose cast serious doubts on the legitimacy of Ilhan Omar's winery and contribute to the growing scrutiny of her financial activities amid allegations of fraud.
