Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was hit with an ethics complaint on March 7 that accuses her of providing her boyfriend an official House email address by listing him as a staff member.

The complaint, filed to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by conservative non-profit Coolidge Reagan Foundation, comes after a different complaint alleging that two political action committees (PACs) backing the congresswoman’s campaign fed nearly $900,000 to a limited liability company (LLC) that functioned as a de facto slush fund for campaign spending, skirting campaign-transparency rules.
