When congresswoman Carolyn Maloney found she wasn’t invited to the 2016 Met Gala, she was displeased and secured her usual invitation by all means necessary. What happened in between is the subject of a new report by the Office of Congressional Ethics
, who represented New York’s 12th District from 1993 until this year, found she wasn’t invited to the 2016 gala, she was displeased and secured her usual invitation by all means necessary. What happened in between is the subject of a report released this week by the Office of Congressional Ethics, which recommended further review because of “substantial reason to believe that she solicited or accepted impermissible gifts associated with her attendance.
The outcome is not clear. The bipartisan ethics committee will decide whether to pursue the investigation further, a decision that may hinge in part on the fact that Maloney is retiring when the new Congress is sworn in next month. Lawyers for Maloney argued that, while there was communication between the representative and members of the Met’s staff, she “did not impermissibly solicit an invitation to The Met Gala because she did not request an invitation to the event.” But the case rests on whether Maloney specificallyfor an invitation, and her lawyers contend that no evidence produced by the OCE actually demonstrates that she did so.
“I do think it is important to note that during the period when we limited/reduced government officials attending, we saw a significant drop in new capital allocation to the Met,” this person wrote in 2018. “In fact during that entire period we only secured $300,000 from the City Council even when $5, $7 even $10 million was earmarked in the past. In fact during budget advocacy when presenting the Museum’s request for new funding we were told by one Council Member to ‘get Anna to pay for it.
