The House Ethics Committee has found that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by accepting improper gifts related to her 2021 Met Gala appearance, where she wore a 'Tax the Rich' dress. The committee determined that she underpaid for the designer gown and related services, and has ordered her to pay nearly $3,000 to resolve the issue. While the panel acknowledged that Ocasio-Cortez made efforts to comply with the rules, she still failed to pay the full fair market value for the items and services received. The investigation will be closed once the payments are made. This incident has reignited debate over congressional ethics and the scrutiny faced by high-profile lawmakers.
