Ocasio-Cortez's Campaign, Former Chief of Staff Failed to Disclose Massive Expenses

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 2018 campaign, along with her former chief of staff, failed to disclose roughly $1 million in expenses, according to Federal Election Commission filings last week.

The agency released the filings on Thursday following a two-year probe amid allegations that AOC's former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, funneled the expenditures through a pair of political action committees - Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats - the New York Post reported.

The group's complaint alleged that Ocasio-Cortez's campaign treasurer, Frank Llewellyn, along with Sakrabarti and others funneled more than $1 million in political donations into two firms that were controlled by Sakrabarti.

The FEC waited for more than 30 days to publicly disclose their investigative findings, according to the NLPC, perhaps in an effort to avoid a legal challenge, a spokesman for the NLPC said.

The Amazon Labor Union announced on Tuesday that it was winning a vote by a margin of around 400 at an Amazon facility in New York City's Staten Island when a back-and-forth between the lawmaker and critics began.

"The warehouse isn't in my district and maybe you should look at a map before claiming so. One scheduling conflict aside, we have requested oversight investigations into Amazon, met with Amazon workers in the Woodside warehouses, and more. Hope you do more due diligence next time," the representative said.
