U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee — but it is not saying why.
The panel released a brief statement Wednesday stating the New York City Democrat was the subject of a complaint made on June 23, and the committee is extending its review. The panel said it will reveal the outcome during the next congressional session, which begins in January.
"Claiming her attendance to the $35,000 a plate event was part of her 'official duties,' there are serious questions about whether or not her ticket — donated or purchased with campaign funds — was permissible under the code of congressional ethics," the group said when it filed the complaint in Sept. 2021.
It's not uncommon for NYC lawmakers to be invited to Vogue's annual event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as Mayor Eric Adams and other previous mayors have attended, as has fellow Congresswomen Carolyn Maloney.
