Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has blamed a miscommunication with her staff for what she characterized as a payment snafu: “I just never, ever, ever would have allowed that to happen knowing what I have learned.'
Congressional investigators have extended their review into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , after the Office of Congressional Ethics concluded that Ocasio-Cortez’s 2021 Met Gala dress could have been an improper gift.
As for what action comes next, the board recommended that the Ethics Committee “further review the above allegation.” But that doesn’t mean the Ethics Committee is formally opening an investigation, which would require a vote to empanel a subcommittee. Despite widespread reporting immediately characterizing the announcement as an ethics investigation, the Ethics Committee issued a statement that conspicuously didn’t mention forming a subcommittee to look into Ocasio-Cortez.
