A federal judge has called on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to testify in a lawsuit filed by a former state assemblyman for blocking users on Twitter during a court hearing on Sept. 26.

Dov Hikind, who was a former Democratic New York Assemblyman and the founder of Americans Against Anti-Semitism, said that Brooklyn Federal Judge Frederic Block has called on the freshman congresswoman to testify in court to answer questions surrounding her act of blocking users on Twitter, including why she blocked Hikind.
