House Oversight Chairman James Comer raises questions about eStCru’s alleged sale of empty wine barrels, the company’s dramatic valuation changes and the congresswoman’s revised financial disclosures.
Fresh allegations surrounding a California winery once co-owned by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband have added another dimension to the scrutiny facing the Minnesota Democrat, with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer raising questions about the company’s business practices and its financial history.
During a recent appearance on Fox News, Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, discussed eStCru LLC, the now-defunct winery associated with Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett. The chairman alleged that investors had been sold empty wine barrels, raising questions about what buyers received in exchange for their money.
The allegation has not been independently established in the information publicly cited by Comer. He referenced media reports but did not identify specific investors, transactions or documents proving that the barrels were empty.
