Now, during the original kerfuffle, some folks noticed that AOC's campaign had paid Roberts $1,750.
A quick tour through AOC's campaign expenditures reveals the extent to which Brand New Congress midwifed her campaign into existence, precisely as the FAQ described above would have it.
While Brand New Congress PAC's ten largest expenditures were paid to Brand New Congress LLC for "Strategic consulting," a sum that totaled $261,165.
A month later Brand New Congress PAC then turned around and paid Riley Roberts another $3,000.
The answer seems to be that Chakrabarti was funneling money paid to him by AOC's campaign back to Roberts and by extension to AOC.At the beginning of October, more than four months into her campaign, AOC's fundraising had been anemic.
Roberts is from Arizona, but was living in New York with AOC. His other contributions to her campaign, both cash and in-kind, list New York as his residence.
Regardless of whether or not Roberts was officially AOC's spouse at that time, it seems probable Chakrabarti was reimbursing her for her campaign expenses off-books.
