Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been ordered by the House Ethics Committee to pay nearly $3,000 after it found she violated congressional rules by underpaying for her 2021 Met Gala appearance. The committee determined that Ocasio-Cortez 'impermissibly accepted gifts,' including her custom 'Tax the Rich' dress and related services, by not paying the full fair market value. While the panel acknowledged her attempts to comply with the rules, it concluded she still fell short. The investigation will be closed once she makes the required payments. This incident has reignited debate over ethics and accountability for public officials attending high-profile events.
