The House Ethics Committee will investigate whether Maloney illegally solicited Met Gala tickets in 2016.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.Outgoing Manhattan Rep. Carolyn Maloney is facing a potential House ethics investigation for allegedly soliciting a ticket to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual gala after she fell off the invite list in 2016., four months after receiving a referral that found there was reason to question whether Maloney, a Democrat who chairs the House Oversight Committee, violated chamber rules and federal law.
The report does not name Witness A. But the email, which was included as an exhibit and did not redact the sender’s name, makes clear it is Emily Rafferty, who was Met president from 2005 to 2015. In a statement, Maloney spokesperson Adrien Lesser said Maloney is “confident the House Ethics Committee will dismiss this matter.”
The House Ethics Committee announced Monday it would gather more information after reviewing the June referral from the board of the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Ethics, which concluded there is “substantial reason to believe that Rep. Maloney may have solicited or accepted impermissible gifts associated with her attendance at the Met Gala.”
