“There is reason to believe that AOC’s use of campaign funds to pay for a psychiatrist who has no experience in ‘leadership training.’”

A government watchdog has filed a complaint accusing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of misusing campaign funds, pointing to nearly $19,000 in payments to a psychiatrist that were reported as “leadership training and consulting.”

The National Legal and Policy Center submitted the complaint against the congresswoman to both the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), detailing three payments in 2025 totaling $18,725 to Boston-based psychiatrist Dr. Brian W. Boyle.

Those payments were disclosed as campaign expenses. The complaint argues the label does not match what was actually provided.

Misappropriation of campaign funds is illegal when Republicans do it.  But AOC doesn't have to worry about that.
