The California winery, partially owned by Tim Mynett, closed as of April 4, with its value previously reported as high as $5 million in Omar's 2025 disclosures.
House Oversight Chair James Comer raised concerns over a sudden asset value increase and requested documents on eStCru and Rose Lake Capital, Mynett's other business.
Omar amended her disclosures, now reporting assets between $18,004 and $95,000, attributing earlier figures to an accounting error as scrutiny over her finances and relationships continues.
