The U.S. House of Representatives has called for an investigation into the business dealings of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, in Dubai, Kenya, and Somalia to determine how Omar's net worth sharply increased.

• The House Oversight Committee Chair, James Comer, demanded Mynett submit financial and communication records related to his two companies operating in these countries.
• Comer questions how Omar’s net worth increased from "virtually nothing" to as much as $30 million (Ksh3.8 billion) within a year.
• The call for investigation follows intensified efforts by the FBI to dismantle money laundering schemes from Minnesota to countries including Kenya, which resulted in 78 indictments and 57 convictions.
