The House Ethics Committee has told Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, to make more payments over her Met Gala “Tax the Rich” outfit.
While the Met Gala is always an eye-catching affair, in September 2021, Ocasio-Cortez stunned onlookers with a Brother Vellies custom white mermaid gown that had the words “Tax the Rich” written in red on the back.
At the time, the congresswoman explained on Instagram she wanted to bring attention to the idea of raising taxes for the wealthiest Americans by doing so “in front of the very people who lobby against it,” per the Daily News. The event cost $35,000 per person at that time, The New York Times reported.
For years, the ethics panel has been investigating Ocasio-Cortez’s attendance at the 2021 Met Gala, and now it says she must make additional payments worth nearly $3,000 in relation to the event.

Convicted mass murderer Bryan Kohberger called his mother for hours, took lengthy showers and washed his hands “dozens of times a day” behind bars, according to his fellow inmates.

Kohberger was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison at a hearing at the Ada County courthouse in Boise for the murders of four University of Idaho students in 2022. Earlier this month he suddenly switched his plea to guilty avoiding the possibility of the death penalty.
Following his sentencing, the Moscow police department released several tranches of files related to their investigations, including accounts from inmates at Latah County Jail, where Kohberger had been held.
