'Squad' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has repeatedly listed her fiancé as a 'spouse' on disclosures filed with the House Ethics Committee, though the congresswoman's office denies she has gotten married.
"Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has repeatedly listed her fiancé as a"spouse" on disclosures filed with the House Ethics Committee, though the congresswoman's office denies she has gotten married.
Still, the discrepancy between the congresswoman's disclosures and statements could lead to watchdogs launching further investigations into the finances of Ocasio-Cortez, who was found in March by the Office of Congressional Ethics, a nonpartisan body reviewing misconduct allegations against lawmakers, to have likely flouted federal law over her 2021 Met Gala attendance. The House Ethics Committee in December 2022 opened an investigation into the Met Gala situation.
The Office of Congressional Ethics has said that long-term partners of lawmakers are"synonymous with a spouse," though the body's power is limited by the House Ethics Committee. OCE only makes recommendations to the ethics panel as far as enforcement, and its decisions about members are not legally binding.
