Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke House ethics rules by accepting more than $3,700 in gifts for her appearance at the 2021 Met Gala \u2014 including the now-infamous \u201cTax The Rich\u201d dress \u2014 but paid less than $1,000 for the items.<\/p>\n<p>The House Ethics Committee found that the New York Democrat failed to follow House rules on gifts and improperly gave her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, a free ticket to the exclusive $35,000-per-head event, The New York Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>But the panel stopped short of issuing any formal sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>According to the committee, the fair-market value of the rented Brother Vellies dress, shoes, jewelry, handbag, and hairpiece totaled $3,724.04.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s campaign delayed payments for months and eventually paid just $990.76 \u2014 most of it from her own pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Her staff also disputed some of the invoices and tried to reduce costs by comparing the couture gown to cheaper rentals online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepresentative Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s attempt to apply a retail rental cost to a handmade couture gown was unrealistic,\u201d the committee\u2019s report said.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that most vendors weren\u2019t paid until after they made repeated attempts to collect \u2014 some even threatened legal action.<\/p>\n<p>That led to subpoenas from the committee and a more than three-year investigation.<\/p>\n<p>While the panel said it found no evidence Ocasio-Cortez \u201cintentionally\u201d underpaid for the goods, it did place blame on her former staffers, including ex-campaign manager Rebecca Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez was caught trying to negotiate down the cost of the dress \u2014 from $1,300 to $300 \u2014 and left a $477 hairstylist bill unpaid for nearly six months.<\/p>\n<p>The hairstylist eventually threatened to report the congresswoman\u2019s campaign to the New York Department of Labor.<\/p>\n<p>The Ethics Committee said no punishment would be necessary \u2014 as long as Ocasio-Cortez donates $250 to cover her boyfriend\u2019s dinner at the event and pays an additional $2,733.28 to the designer.<\/p>\n<p>AOC\u2019s chief of staff, Mike Casca, said in a statement, \u201cThe Congresswoman appreciates the Committee finding that she made efforts to ensure her compliance with House Rules and sought to act consistently with her ethical requirements as a Member of the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe accepts the ruling and will remedy the remaining amounts, as she\u2019s done at each step in this process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Under House rules, members of Congress are barred from accepting gifts \u2014 with a few exceptions, including tickets to charity events if invited by the organization hosting it.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, Vogue editor Anna Wintour invited Ocasio-Cortez and her boyfriend personally, as guests of Vogue \u2014 not the museum that officially hosts the gala.<\/p>\n<p>Wintour also instructed the Brother Vellies designer to custom-make the dress \u2014 something the designer called \u201cinsane,\u201d since she normally only makes shoes and handbags.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being told to keep expenses low, AOC\u2019s team was met several times with responses like, \u201cMet Gala attendees don\u2019t normally pay for this,\u201d according to her lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>The rented shoes had a retail value of $635 but were rented for $160. The Brother Vellies handbag was worth $995 and rented for $157. Jewelry was rented for $78, and a paper hibiscus flower for her hair cost $35.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, in May 2022, AOC\u2019s team received another $5,579 bill for car service, hotel rooms, and accessories like Roberts\u2019 bowtie and cummerbund.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that the committee never got a clear answer about why the designer didn\u2019t ask for payment up front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one appeared to be thinking about the cost of anything, despite the fact that they were told to keep the costs down by the Congresswoman\u2019s staff because the Congresswoman had and has limited financial means,\u201d her lawyer said.<\/p>\n<p>The committee concluded that Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s conduct violated House rules, laws, and standards of conduct \u2014 both in accepting the gifts and in delaying repayment.<\/p>\n<p>Once she repays the remaining value, the committee says the matter will be considered closed.<\/p>\n<p>HOLY SMOKES: President Trump on Maduro \u201cHe Doesn\u2019t Want To F*ck Around With The United States\u201d<img alt=\"\" class=\"lazy-img\" data-src=\"https:\/\/leafynews.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/trump-maduro.webp\" height=\"240\" width=\"360\"\/><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump confirmed on Friday that Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro offered significant concessions to the United States in a bid to maintain his grip on power.<\/p>\n<p>During a press engagement at the White House, Trump was asked about reports that Maduro had reached out to his administration with proposals involving Venezuela\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has offered everything,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cHe\u2019s offered everything; you\u2019re right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president followed that up with a direct remark that immediately drew global attention: \u201cYou know why? Because he doesn\u2019t want to fuck around with the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s statement came during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was in Washington to discuss diplomatic solutions aimed at ending the long-running Russian occupation of parts of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The question about Venezuela appeared unrelated to the topic of Ukraine but reflected broader concerns about authoritarian governments aligned with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Maduro has long been a vocal ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has consistently supported Moscow\u2019s foreign policy, including its actions in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>In past remarks, Maduro mocked Zelensky as a \u201cclown\u201d and likened him to Venezuelan opposition figure Juan Guaid\u00f3, who once attempted to challenge Maduro\u2019s rule in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. foreign policy toward Venezuela under Trump\u2019s leadership has focused heavily on countering corruption, narcotics trafficking, and authoritarian influence in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>As part of that effort, Trump\u2019s administration placed a $50 million bounty on Maduro for information leading to his capture.<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S. State Department, Maduro was implicated in leading the \u201cCartel of the Suns,\u201d a high-level Venezuelan drug-trafficking organization involving senior officials.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department described Maduro\u2019s role as one of coordination and leadership, connecting him to narco-terrorism operations with Colombia\u2019s FARC, a designated terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaduro negotiated multi-ton shipments of FARC-produced cocaine; directed the Cartel of the Suns to provide military-grade weapons to the FARC; coordinated with narcotics traffickers in Honduras and other countries to facilitate large-scale drug trafficking,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>Reports in U.S. media have indicated that members of Maduro\u2019s circle sought dialogue with Washington to mitigate sanctions and halt international pressure.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0and\u00a0Miami Herald, senior Venezuelan officials allegedly offered the U.S. access to key oil and mineral assets in exchange for leniency toward the regime.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal was reportedly delivered by Venezuela\u2019s Vice President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez and her brother Jorge Rodr\u00edguez, president of the National Assembly, through Qatari intermediaries.<\/p>\n<p>Sources cited by multiple outlets suggested the Rodr\u00edguez siblings presented themselves as possible successors to Maduro if such an arrangement could preserve their power and wealth.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press corroborated similar details, indicating that the offer was known and approved by Maduro.<\/p>\n<p>Reports further noted internal divisions within the U.S. administration, with officials such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly rejecting any deal that did not include full regime change.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio had previously told\u00a0Breitbart News\u00a0in 2019 that Maduro\u2019s close allies might eventually turn against him but identified the Rodr\u00edguez siblings and Maduro\u2019s wife, Cilia Flores, as the least likely to defect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no loyalty to Maduro,\u201d Rubio said at the time. \u201cThere is basically loyalty to a system that is making them rich and has allowed their families to enjoy life and stay out of jail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rodr\u00edguez siblings consolidated power in 2024 following the arrest of former oil minister Tareck El Aissami, who was charged with treason, money laundering, and corruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0What That Bump Down There Might Really Mean \u2014 And When to See a Doctor It starts with a glance.
