The House Ethics Committee published findings Thursday from an Office of Congressional Ethics investigation into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on allegations she failed to pay in a timely manner for rental clothes, accessories and services related to her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala.
The OCE report states the New York Democrat may have “accepted impermissible gifts” in connection with the September 2021 event in violation of House rules, standards of conduct and federal law.
The Ethics Committee said Thursday that it would conduct a further review of the referral from the OCE and noted that action does not indicate that any violation has occurred or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee.
