Federal Election Commission investigating ex-AOC chief of staff Chakrabarti

Wa Ex: Two organizations linked to Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her outgoing senior aides are the subject of a Federal Election Commission investigation into alleged campaign finance violations, the Washington Examiner has learned.

The FEC opened an official case on March 7 to examine complaints against Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress, two campaign committees started by Ocasio-Cortez’s former chief of staff Shaikat Chakrabarti, according to an FEC confirmation letter disclosed to the Washington Examiner. The matter was assigned a case number and remains open. Ocasio-Cortez also sat on the board of Justice Democrats from December 2017 to June 2018, the Daily Caller reported.

The original FEC complaint was filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, a government watchdog group, and claimed the Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress PACs were engaged in “an elaborate scheme to avoid proper disclosure of campaign expenditures.”

Campaign finance records indicate that the two PACs transferred over $1 million in political donations to private companies controlled by Chakrabarti, according to the complaint, which was first reported by the Washington Examiner in March. The private companies, which had names that were similar to the PACs, are not legally subject to the same spending restrictions and disclosure requirements as political action committees. more

  1. Uncle Kink,
    Er war ein Punker und er lebte in der großen Stadt
    Es war in Wien wo er alles tat
    Er war Superstar, er war populär
    Er war ein Virtuose, er war ein Rockidol
    Rock On

  2. The UNIPARTY has been “above the law” for 30 years. He will get no more than a slap on the wrist; and that would shock me. What happened to GWB’s boy Comey? NOTHING! The UNIPARTY protects the UNIPARTY!
