About $2.9 million to her husband’s firm
Status · documented
E Street Group received large 2020-cycle campaign payments while Omar dated and then married Tim Mynett. The FEC found no personal use.
OpenSecrets-tracked vendor payments to E Street Group run about $2.9 million in the 2020 cycle; much of a consultancy’s receipts pass through to ads and services. [2] In MUR 7639 the FEC found no reason to believe the payments were personal use. [1]
Bottom line. Legal per the FEC; optically a conflict.
The winery suit and Hailer’s cannabis settlement
Status · mixed
Mynett and Hailer’s winery took a $300,000 investment on a huge promised return, was sued, and settled. Hailer separately settled a $1.2 million cannabis-financing dispute.
Naeem Mohd’s suit alleged a promise of $900,000 back in 18 months; Mynett and Hailer denied fraud; a cash settlement was confirmed in 2024 and the winery later closed. [1][3] Hailer’s companies settled a cannabis-financing matter for $1.2 million. [2]
Bottom line. Civil settlements ≠ Omar criminal guilt.
FEC: no personal use on E Street
Status · documented
MUR 7639 dismissed the personal-use theory that campaign money was a spousal slush fund.
The FEC’s factual and legal analysis found no reason to believe Omar, the campaign, E Street, or Mynett converted funds to personal use. [1]
Bottom line. Documented regulatory clearance on that theory.
