James Comer Says Ilhan Omar Is “At the Top of the Suspect List” in Massive Minnesota Fraud Scandal — Ethics Complaints Incoming, Claims Her Husband Profited

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell this week, suggesting that far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar sits “at the top of the suspect list” in the sprawling Minnesota fraud scandals involving taxpayer-funded daycare and healthcare programs.
The comments came during a pointed exchange with journalist Alison Steinberg, who raised serious concerns about whether members of Congress themselves may have benefited from money funneled through political action committees tied to fraudulent daycare and healthcare schemes.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn has leveled explosive allegations against Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, claiming that a lack of accountability regarding massive taxpayer fraud in Minnesota is linked to the Speaker’s own financial networks.
Minnesota has become ground zero for some of the largest pandemic-era fraud cases in U.S. history, involving the alleged theft of hundreds of millions of dollars intended to feed children and provide healthcare services.
Many of these cases have centered on networks tied to Somali-run nonprofits and daycare operations, fraud that went unchecked for years under Democrat leadership.
When asked how Americans can trust Congress to police fraud if lawmakers themselves are implicated, Comer made it clear that there is a formal mechanism to deal with corruption on Capitol Hill.
Alison Steinberg:
“There are reports that members of Congress are actually receiving daycare and health care clinic money funneled through various PACs. If this is true and widespread, how can the American people trust Congress to task and uncover the far-reaching tentacles of this fraud?James Comer:
Any member of Congress that’s getting any money unethically or illegally—there’s an Ethics Committee, and it’s bipartisan. It’s an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, and that’s the committee that’s supposed to investigate members of Congress.The Ethics Committee was created—we have in our rules that we’re not supposed to investigate other members. But the Ethics Committee has a staff, and that is their sole purpose for existence in life. I think the House Ethics Committee traditionally has been a lot harder on unethical behavior than the Senate Ethics Committee. That’s my opinion.
But anybody that has information on a member of Congress, bring that to the Ethics Committee, and they’ll investigate it. I don’t care if they’re a Republican or a Democrat. We need to hold them accountable.”
The exchange became even more explosive when Steinberg asked directly about Ilhan Omar.
Comer revealed that ethics complaints are expected to be filed against Omar and underscored that she declined an opportunity to address the allegations publicly.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.
During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.
“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.
“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.
“I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.”
Comer also made remarks that Omar’s husband may have financially benefited from entities connected to the Minnesota fraud networks.
The $30 million venture capital firm run by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, has quietly removed the names and bios of its top officers and advisors from its website.
According to a bombshell report from the New York Post, Rose Lake Capital, founded by Mynett in 2022, scrubbed the details of nine key figures between September and October 2025.
The list included high-profile Democrats like former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli, ex-Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus, DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman, former DNC treasurer William Derrough, and Keith Mestrich, the ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank, which he once called “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party.”
Alison Steinberg:
What about Ilhan Omar?James Comer:
She’s at the top of the suspect list in that, so we’ll see. But I can tell you, my members, there are going to be ethics complaints filed against Omar. She had an opportunity to come in here today.[…]
There have been countless reports that her husband has profited in some way—she, in some way. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but she could have had an opportunity to come in here and defend herself. So hopefully you all may knock on her door and ask her some questions, and we’ll see what she has to say.

‘Pamphlets About Sharia Law and Other Islamic Things’ in Texas High School

High school students in Wylie, Texas, were recently provided with Muslim religious materials by representatives of an Islamic organization called Why Islam.
On February 2, in a video shared on X by Sara Gonzales, the president of the High School Republicans at Wiley East High School disclosed that members of Why Islam were providing hijabs to certain female students, along with Qurans and pamphlets about Sharia law to the student body—over their lunch hour “on public school taxpayer-funded time.”

In the follow-up reports regarding this incident, media outlets failed to mention Why Islam’s ties to groups that have long been scrutinized for their anti-Semitic views, sympathies toward terrorism, and other concerning affiliations.

Interestingly, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) serves as the “chief representative body” in the U.S. for Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), a South Asian Islamist movement. JeI’s militant wing, Hizbul Mujahideen, has been classified as a terrorist organization by the U.S. since 2017.
The Investigative Project on Terrorism also reported that ICNA’s websites once featured links to groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and militant factions active in Afghanistan and Kashmir. Furthermore, ICNA has supported the Islamic Society in Gaza, a group that has been known to radicalize children to support Hamas.
Why should this be a concern for the Texas school district, or any school district for that matter? Because, as stated by Focus on Western Islamism, “ICNA runs…a number of da’wah [proselytization] campaigns—the most active of which is called Why Islam.”
The Gateway Pundit interviewed Melanie Kurdys, a board member of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE). When the author of this article pointed out the connections between Why Islam and ICNA, as well as ICNA’s links to JeI, she was appalled.
She likened the discovery to that of the infiltration of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in America’s school systems through initiatives like Confucius Classrooms in K-12 schools and Confucius Institutes at universities.
“I think people have opened their eyes to this,” Kurdys said. “We went through a period of not caring, and now we realize that this was the way the communists managed to infiltrate our country and attempt to seize control. Why would you think this is any different?”
She extended the benefit of the doubt to those handing out the Muslim materials to students at the high school, suggesting they might be unaware of Why Islam’s connections to antisemitic, terror sympathizing groups. However, she also cautioned, “you always have the canary in the coal mine.”
With regard to Why Islam advocating for their Islamic beliefs in the public school, she said other groups in the community should have been afforded the same opportunity, having “a seat at the table.” To the contrary, the student featured in the video claimed that no other faith groups had ever been invited, asserting, “we’ve never had a faith group to my understanding.”
Given that Sharia law is often viewed as incompatible with the U.S. Constitution, American laws, and ” the American way of life,” Kurdys asked why the distribution of pamphlets on this subject was permitted. “Would Americans be granted the same interfaith respect and mutual survival [in a Muslim-majority nation]?”
While she encourages interfaith dialogue for students to gain knowledge, she also fears what could happen if it’s left unbridled and unchecked. After all, there’s already this example in Texas public schools with ties to a few controversial, perhaps dangerous, players.
Whether it’s related to the infiltration of Islamist groups or the CCP, or pornography in libraries, Kurdys said, “You can protect your kids by keeping them out of the government schools and opting for homeschooling or private education.”

Trump Admin to Repeal Obama-Era Climate Rule in ‘Largest Act of Deregulation in the History of the US’

The Trump administration is planning to wipe away the foundation that supported Obama-era regulations on greenhouse gasses, according to a new report.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the so-called “endangerment finding” of 2009 that labeled six greenhouse gasses as a threat to public health and welfare will be overturned.
The finding gave the Environmental Protection Agency legal authority to limit emissions from power plants and vehicles.
“This amounts to the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said.
Trump admin to repeal Obama-era greenhouse gas finding in large-scale deregulationhttps://t.co/Ci46PRtHKH

The final rule is expected to be made public this week, the Journal wrote.
The Journal said the rule “removes the regulatory requirements to measure, report, certify and comply with federal greenhouse-gas emission standards for motor vehicles, and repeals associated compliance programs, credit provisions and reporting obligations for industries,” citing administration officials it did not name as the source of the report.
The new rule will not directly overturn regulations on power plant emissions but could be a first step in that direction, The Journal report said.
Trump began the process on the day he became president by directing the EPA to determine if the finding should remain in place. In July, the EPA first proposed rescinding the finding.
The report said the officials it did not name estimated removing the finding would reduce costs of compliance by about $1 trillion.
“More energy drives human flourishing,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. “Energy abundance is the thing that we have to focus on, not regulating certain forms of energy out.”
On Wednesday, Trump is scheduled to announce an executive order directing the War Department to buy electricity from coal-fired power plants.
Trump has made no secret of his support for wiping away regulations that constrict America’s energy supplying.
“My Administration is committed to unleashing American energy, especially through the removal of all illegitimate impediments to the identification, development, siting, production, investment in, or use of domestic energy resources — particularly oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, geothermal, biofuel, critical mineral, and nuclear energy resources,” Trump wrote in a 2025 fact sheet,
“An affordable and reliable domestic energy supply is essential to the national and economic security of the United States, as well as our foreign policy. Simply put, Americans are better off when the United States is energy dominant.”
Last month, Trump tweaked the climate change crowd over the extreme cold that hit the U.S.
“Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

WAYNE ROOT: President Trump, Take the Offensive. The Moment to Strike is Now. Prove You’re the Greatest Dealmaker in History- Pass the SAVE Act. As a Bonus, Create “Illegal Alien Hall of Shame.” Tie it all to Epstein.

By Wayne Allyn Root
I can feel it. The momentum has shifted. This is the moment to take action, to be aggressive, to go for broke.
This is the moment to put the radical left losers on their heels.
This is the moment to win the midterms.
This is the moment to stop voter fraud forever. Which means we stop Democrats from winning elections forever. Because without fraud…and rigged elections…they’ve got nothing. They can’t win without fraud.
This is the moment to use the shocking Epstein scandal to educate the American people.
But most of all, this is the moment to prove Mr. President that you’re the greatest dealmaker in history!
Let’s start with the “Art of the Deal.”
The SAVE Act is the whole enchilada. The whole kit and caboodle. The whole kitchen sink.
Pass it by hook or crook, by any and all means necessary…and the GOP wins the midterms…wins the presidency in 2028…and then with the help of a new Census that bans the counting of illegal aliens, the GOP gains enough electoral votes and new seats in Congress to win for decades to come.
We will control the electoral map!
But we have to get to 2030 first. We can’t get there if we lose the midterms, and lose the presidency in 2028. Then it’s all over. All our plans are dead. If we lose because we didn’t pass the SAVE Act, then the mass deportation is stopped. And election integrity is dead on arrival. Then after 2028 the borders will be open again.And then illegal aliens will vote by the millions to elect Democrats forever more.
It all begins and ends with the SAVE Act.
Here’s how to get it done…
Do you remember Obamacare? Does anyone remember how it passed? It passed only with the most disgusting, disgraceful, blatant, out-in-the-open bribery in America’s history.
Obama twisted the arms of Democrat Congressmen and Senators until they broke. He bribed the last remaining holdouts with anything and everything they wanted to change their final votes to a “YES.” He opened the vault and gave away the kitchen sink (with taxpayer money, of course). He made their dreams come true. He offered them so many goodies that no one could say no.
This was legal bribery- obviously. Because no one in the GOP said a word. The Supreme Court never said a word. Obama used taxpayer money and the most obscne giveawa in history to pass Obamacare by one vote in the US Senate (exactly the 60 he needed to defeat the Filibuster)- and therefore change the entire US economy and healthcare system forever. Trillions of dollars changed hands because of that one vote.
Obama changed the course of history by one vote. And he got the final few votes necessary by any means possible, by hook or crook. He gave away the store- with your money!
Obama gave away billions of dollars of taxpayer money in order to benefit his biggest Democrat donors with trillions of dollars of healthcare spending.
That’s the way the game is played in DC, President Trump.
Now it’s your turn President Trump to get the deal done…to change the course of history…to prove the “Art of the Deal”…to twist arms until they break…to play Santa and dole out to the holdouts whatever it takes to get the deciding votes. Obama proved it’s all legal.
I don’t care how you get it done. Bend the rules. Give away the store. Legally bribe the holdouts. Legal Senate maneuvering. Kill the Filibuster. Whatever you have to do- DO IT.
This is your legacy, President Trump.
Prove you’re the greatest dealmaker in history. This is your “Art of the Deal” moment.
The SAVE Act means Democrats can’t rig and steal elections anymore. They’ll have to win with ideas- and they don’t have any ideas that appeal to the majority of American voters.
Install Photo Voter ID to vote in federal elections. Install proof of citizenship to vote. End mail-in ballots. Do all of that and Democrats can’t win elections.
Game, set, match.
But this is the last chance EVER to pass it. Fail to pass it and we lose the midterms. With a Democrat majority the chance for election integrity is gone forever. So is the chance to change the Census to ban the counting of illegals. So is mass deportation.
So is your presidency. The whole MAGA agenda is over and you’re a lame duck president.
We become a one-party state. Then comes the censorship and weaponization all over again. Then they send you to prison after your presidency is over.
Pass the damn SAVE Act- by any means necessary.
Now to part 2. “The Illegal Alien Hall of Shame.” America is shocked, outraged and disgusted by Epstein. Rightfully so. Here’s how to tie that outrage to mass deportation.
It’s time to win the PR offensive. It’s time to show the American people why mass deportation is the only way to protect their children. Tie it all to Epstein.
Illegal immigration is Epstein times millions.
America sees one 9-year-old child abused and sexually assaulted by Epstein- and they freak out (as well they should). They see hundreds of underage girls pimped out by Epstein to the most powerful people in the world- and the nation freaks out (as well they should).
But every hour of every day, thousands of young children are assaulted, abused, raped and murdered. All because of open borders, illegal immigration, transnational gangs and Drug Cartels. That’s their business- the Cartels make billions of dollars per week on sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, pedophilia, and the drug trafficking that is killing our children- by the hundreds of thousands.
It’s time for “Show and Tell.”
Create “The Illegal Alien Hall of Shame.” Pay for hundreds of millions of dollars of TV ads between now and the midterms showing the mug shots of illegal aliens who trafficked, abused, assaulted, raped and murdered little girls and boys. Show the parents of children who were murdered, assaulted or abused telling their tragic stories…and thanking President Trump and ICE for arresting these monsters.
This is Epstein times millions.
Prove it with “Show and Tell.” Show the monsters. Show the parents of rape and murder victims. Call it “The Illegal Alien Hall of Shame.” Put the stories front and center, 24/7 from now until the midterms, in front of the American people.
Make the case that we are deporting millions of Epsteins who want to abuse, assault, rape, murder and destroy your children with drugs.
Be aggressive. Take the offensive. Create the momentum- while you work on exploding the economy and making our jobs, GDP and retirement accounts great again. This is what American voters care about. The economy and the crimes of illegals. Tie it all to Epstein.
And pass that damn SAVE Act this week- by any and all means necessary.
Prove you’re the greatest dealmaker in history.
