Republican group files FEC complaint alleging Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's campaign team illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her boyfriend through an allied PAC
Lawyers for the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a conservative non-profit, filed an FEC complaint against Cortez's campaign team on Wednesday
The group wants the feds to review recently-unveiled campaign expenditures Cortez's election staff made to Brand New Congress LLC
The political consulting firm hired Cortez's boyfriend, Riley Roberts, as a marketing strategist back in 2017 in the early stages of her campaign
Cortez's campaign paid $6,191.32 to BNC not long before the PAC made two separate payments to Roberts totaling $6,000
BNC Communications Director Zeynab Day said his firm hired Roberts based on his experience managing successful advertising and social media campaigns
