AOC hit with ethics complaint over $4,550 payments for dance ‘training’
Story by Ryan King • 11h
A watchdog has slapped an ethics complaint against “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of misusing taxpayer funds on dance “training.”
Americans for Public Trust, a private watchdog group that targets corruption, alleged that Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 35, tapped into her Member Representational Allowance to shell out $3,700 to “Juan D Gonzalez” and $850 to “Bombazo Dance Co Inc” for what was described as “training” in December.
The watchdog on Tuesday sent a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) and argued that the rep made the payments in “contravention of federal law and the standards of the House of Representatives.”
Ocasio-Cortez had dismissed concerns about the two December 2024 payments and seemingly implied they were campaign expenses instead, which the watchdog argued backs its case that the funds were misappropriated.
