The House Ethics Committee extended its investigation into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Thurday over allegations that she violated congressional rules by accepting "impermissible gifts" at the 2021 Met Gala.
The big picture: The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) released an 18-page report that states the board found "substantial reason to believe that she accepted impermissible gifts." Ocasio-Cortez denies violating House rules and her office told NBC News they're confident the matter would be dismissed.
