Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has not appeared in public since federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., residence Monday. Her husband and political consultant, Tim Mynett, was seen leaving the couple’s rented home again this week.
Mynett was spotted Wednesday taking their Golden Labrador, Teddy, for a walk. He was seen later carrying out the trash and, on a third occasion, walking out one of Omar’s staffers.
During an evening walk with Teddy, a reporter asked Mynett about rumors that the congresswoman had left the United States.
“You guys are annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here, man,” Mynett told Fox News Digital when questioned about the week’s developments, including President Donald Trump’s public comments on the matter.
That same day, one of Omar’s congressional staffers was photographed bringing two large Burger King bags into the residence. Security accompanied her to the door and remained outside after she entered with the food.
The sightings came as rumors circulated that Omar had left the country after Homeland Security Investigations agents searched the home. Fox News Digital previously reported that the raid was connected to a criminal investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork.
Federal authorities reportedly took Omar’s cellphone and passport during the search.
According to reporters, Omar’s staff helped change her birth year in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library from 1981 to 1982. She reportedly obtained citizenship automatically through her father’s naturalization because she was 17 at the time. If she was born in 1981, she would have been 18, potentially raising questions about the basis for her citizenship because she would no longer have been a minor.
The revised birthdate remained in the public record throughout Omar’s service in the Minnesota House and for several months after she entered Congress.
Asked earlier this week about the federal inquiry, Mynett told Fox News Digital that he had “no concerns” about what investigators might uncover regarding his wife’s immigration history.
“My wife came here when she was 12 years old as a child war refugee,” Mynett said. “No concerns.”

Mynett spoke after reports that Omar’s relatives had received subpoenas in the HSI investigation. At least two family members were reportedly subpoenaed, including, according to reports, Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor.
Fox News Digital also questioned Mynett about Trump’s claims regarding Omar’s finances. On Truth Social, the president questioned whether an accountant had initially reported inaccurate financial information after a previous disclosure listed the couple’s combined net worth as high as $30 million.
“Why did Ilhan Omar report a Net Worth of up to 30 Million Dollars just a short time ago, and then immediately say, ‘Oh, I made a mistake! It’s really $100,000.’ Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota? Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, 30 Million Dollars, and then she was forced to disavow because she never would have been able to report where that much money came from? She must have freaked out when she saw that money!” Trump wrote Tuesday.
“Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D.C.? I didn’t know that Congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief, makes almost nothing, so it couldn’t have come from him. How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia? America wants answers, and we want them, NOW!” he added.
Mynett is also connected to a separate inquiry involving Omar’s finances.
The day after Monday’s HSI search, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office was examining Omar’s financial disclosures, including the figures reported for the couple’s shared net worth.
The financial scrutiny grew after Omar’s 2024 congressional disclosure identified business interests linked to Mynett with a combined estimated value of between $6 million and $30 million. Omar’s office later said the figures were inaccurate and filed an amended disclosure.
The most significant revisions involved Mynett’s reported assets. His ownership stakes in a winery and a venture capital advisory firm, previously assigned multimillion-dollar values, were listed without a stated value in the amended filing.
In Omar’s original 2024 disclosure, Mynett’s winery stake was valued at between $1 million and $5 million, while his interest in the venture capital advisory firm was estimated at between $5 million and $25 million. Both holdings are now reported as worth $0.
Omar’s office previously told Fox News Digital that Mynett has partners in both businesses and said the earlier disclosure mistakenly reflected the businesses’ total equity rather than his ownership interest. The office also said the original filing listed assets without accounting for liabilities.
Officials noted that the investigation into Omar’s financial disclosures is unrelated to the raid on her home.
