The House Ethics Committee has ruled that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez violated congressional gift rules during her high-profile appearance at the 2021 Met Gala, where she wore a custom 'Tax the Rich' dress. The committee found that Ocasio-Cortez underpaid for the dress and related services, effectively accepting impermissible gifts. She has been ordered to pay nearly $3,000 to resolve the issue, though the panel acknowledged she made good-faith efforts to comply with the rules. The investigation will be closed once the payments are made. This incident has reignited debate over ethics and accountability for public officials.
