Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar’s primary opponent accused the Minnesota Democratic congresswoman Thursday of “deception” about her husband’s shady business dealings.
Don Samuels, a former member of the Minneapolis City Council who is running to unseat Omar in the 5th Congressional District, held a press conference to highlight a Minnesota Reformer report on the legal troubles of Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, related to ventures involving a California winery and South Dakota marijuana growers.
Neither of the ventures panned out — and the latter group was unable to recoup its investments in part due to funds from one of Mynett’s former companies being frozen by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
