House Ethics Committee raped. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DN.Y) is directed to make about $ 3,000 in additional payment in relation to her appearance in Met Gala in 2021 and she will consider the case of her Met Gala attendance after those payments.
Ocasio-Cortez had already paid to pay for the cost of fare of dress and goods in 2022, but in one The report was publicly released on FridayThe Ethics Committee found the cost of an estimated fare below “unrealistic” and market value, which was not for an impenetrable gift in compliance with federal law and home rules – even though it was said that the violations were “not knowing and wishful.”
Ocasio-CORTEZ is expected to pay the difference, which will eliminate a long investigation over the years in his Met Gala attendance.
While Ocasio-CORTEZ had earlier paid $ 990.76 for the cost of renting his Met Gala dress from designer brother Velise, the committee found that the designer’s accountant had earlier “reduced the garment”, and would be found close to the fair market for the ditch to the ditch $ 3,724.04.
The Ethics Committee also found that Ocasio-CORTEZ should donate $ 250 to the costume institute of Mate to Gala’s Costume Institute.
The panel stated that the Okasio-Cortez made a “important step” to follow the House Gift Rules, and that their presence in the event otherwise complied with home rules.
“Congressmen appreciated the committee to find out that it tried to ensure compliance with the House’s rules and demanded his moral needs to work continuously with his moral needs as a member of the House,” the Chief of Staff said in a statement. “She accepts the ruling and will remedy the remaining zodiac signs, as she has done in this process in each stage.”
Ocasio-CORTEZ separately was paid for the cost of makeup, hotel rooms, transport, and other “equal benefits”, which was around $ 7,500, in relation to participating in Met Gala. With new costs directed by the committee, Ocasio-CORTEZ would personally have paid more than $ 10,000 for the Met Gala evening, his lawyer told the Ethics Committee.
His lawyer said in a letter from May 2025, “It would be meaningless to suggest that the Congress should have been prepared to pay for aspects of goods and services, which she did not know and did not authorize.”
For the first time, the Ethics Committee released a report from the Congress’ office of the Congress-now called the office of the conduct of the Congress-2023 in which the Met Gala attendance of Osesio-Kortez was examined and suggested that he must have accepted the immense gifts related to the incident. He ReportSome vendors have shown disappointment about payment for hair and makeup services, this incident is delayed by months, as well as paying for her Met Gala Enhanble and other affiliated costs after months.
After further investigation, the Ethics Committee determined that the delay in paying was not intentional and Ocasio-CORTEZ was not aware of the limit of personally delay.
But the panel also determined that the payment for their outfits of oceseo-cortez was below the market price, and attempts to guess “failed to be responsible for the correct cost of such unique items, especially given that they were custom-made for the Congress and no further use after the possibility.”
And it rented the runway as a data point to bring the team of Ocasio-CORTEZ to bring the fare of mass-Market clothing, when the costs associated with renting a MET Gala organization are assessed, as a brother Velice Accountant testified and a preacher testified.
The Ethics Committee said, “To hire many persons on the runway, one-one-type, custom-maid designer gown has been compared to several individuals on the runway,” said the morality committee.
The Ocasio-CORTEZ counsel told the panel in 2024 that the runway on the rent was brought only while estimating whether the Congress incident could spend to attend the event, and that the Congress did not instruct others to use estimates that were to influence the cost of rent.
The panel estimated that the cost of the goods to create the dress was $ 6,279.10 instead of $ 1,000-“The possibility of creating the right retail value of the gown designed for the representative Ocasio-CORTEZ was approximately $ 18,837.30, and would be a more appropriate market price for the rent of the gown instead of $ 2,976.29”
It was also stated that the challan provided by Bhai Velise was not responsible for a custom flower hairpiece, which was wore by ocesio-courtes, and ocesio-courtes should pay $ 36.71 for the rent of that hairpiece.
The panel allowed the previous invoices of $ 160, $ 170 for the fare of a handbag and $ 78.47 for the fare of jewelry.
