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