The House Committee on Ethics is investigating NY Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, according to a statement the panel released on Wednesday.

The statement said that the panel will announce its course of action after its organizational meeting in the next Congress.

Although few details have been released, the socialist’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti has been accused of diverting more than $1 million in campaign donations into a slush fund controlled by two private companies registered to him.

A spokesperson for AOC said that she is confident that the case would be dismissed. “The Congresswoman has always taken ethics incredibly seriously, refusing any donations from lobbyists, corporations or other special interests,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

The Office of Congressional Ethics forwarded its inquiry into Ocasio-Cortez to the House ethics panel in June. Typically, when that office refers an investigation, it is because the office has reason to believe an ethics law was broken.

Wednesday’s statement was attributed to acting Chair Susan Wild (D-Pa.) and Ranking Member Michael Guest (R-Miss.).

The House Committee on Ethics recently voted to extend the investigation, triggering Wednesday’s disclosure.

So the corrupt media is already covering up for the ongoing investigation against AG Letitia James. As a black female democrat, the media must cover up.

When did “incredible” come to mean “very”? I prefer the original meaning: not credible, unworthy of being believed.

Nothing wrong with having an investigation.

I advise all AOC bashers to just listen to her once. Not to people quoting her, not to articles about her, just listen to her.

She is a really smart articulate person, and we would be honored to have her represent us anywhere.
