The House Ethics Committee has found that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by underpaying for her attendance and attire at the 2021 Met Gala, where she wore a custom 'Tax the Rich' dress. The committee determined she 'impermissibly accepted gifts' by not paying the full market value for the dress, accessories, and services received. Ocasio-Cortez has been ordered to pay nearly $3,000 to resolve the matter. The panel acknowledged she made efforts to comply with the rules but ultimately fell short. The investigation will be closed once the payments are made.
