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