Join the Thousands Working to Stop AOC
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) finds herself the target of a new FEC complaint today, this one accusing the progressive firebrand and her multi-millionaire campaign manager of running a “subsidy scheme” in violation of campaign finance laws.
Per Fox News:
The crux of the complaint, which was given exclusively to Fox News in advance of its filing Wednesday, accused Ocasio-Cortez and her campaign manager, Saikat Chakrabarti, of overseeing a “shadowy web” of political action committees (PACs) that allowed them to raise more cash than they could have legally. It also alleged that a limited liability company (LLC) was created to avoid federal expenditure requirements by offering Ocasio-Cortez and other Democratic candidates political consulting services at a price so low that the company apparently shut down before the election was even over.
