Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Accused Of Concealing THOUSANDS


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is once again in hot water due to an ethics complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

The FEC complaint, filed by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a non-profit organization, alleges that Cortez failed to properly identify roughly $9,600 of campaign spending made through her campaign credit card.

Previously, AOC was served an ethics complaint from the Office of Congressional Ethics for her now infamous Met Gala appearance in 2021.

The office alleges that Cortez may have accepted ‘impermissible gifts’ by accepting free tickets to an exclusive $35,000 event.

Here’s more on the story:

Daily Caller highlighted this portion of the complaint filed by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation:

“In each case, the reports do not fully disclose the purposes of each payment for which the charge card was used; the sum of the specific Memo Item entries is consistently hundreds or even thousands of dollars less than the total amount paid to the recipient.

Although campaigns are permitted to use charge cards (or reimburse candidates for use of their personal charge cards) for otherwise permissible campaign-related expense, their disclosure reports must accurately identify both the recipient of those funds, as well as each of the campaign-related goods and services those charge cards were used to purchase,” the complaint adds.

 

 

Trending Politics provided a different excerpt of the complaint:

This Complaint arises from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s repeated, blatant violations of federal campaign finance law to conceal how she spent thousands of dollars of campaign funds.

On numerous occasions throughout 2022, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s authorized candidate committee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress (‘AOC for Congress’), reported tens of thousands of dollars of disbursements for card payments and card payment reimbursements to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez herself; American Express; and an entity called ‘Veyond!,’ which appears to have provided virtual reality services and apparently no longer operates under that name.
