Questions are swirling around Rep. Ilhan Omar's latest financial disclosures, which show a massive valuation spike for her husband's California winery, eStCru LLC. Despite being valued at up to $5 million in 2024—up from just $50,000 last year—critics point to a lack of actual business activity. Investigations reveal no active phone line, a dead online presence, and zero wine available for sale. This follows a settled lawsuit from an investor alleging the venture failed to deliver promised returns. As calls for congressional transparency grow, many are asking how an inactive business sees its value soar while its operations remain a mystery.
Ilhan Omar's husband's investment firm has no clients and "the winery" may not even exist.
Wow. Last week she was married to her brother. Now, it's a white guy in the wine business. At least there is the Melania movie to take our minds off all this corruption, bribery, and fake business deals.
