Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins House Oversight Committee

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and two other progressive Democrats have received spots on the House Oversight Committee, it was announced on Tuesday.

The attention-grabbing Bronx politician joined the investigative committee along with freshman Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) — all of whom have pledged to probe the Trump administration, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“We are thrilled that these outstanding Members will join these critical committees, where their fresh vision and powerful voices will be critical as Democrats deliver our ambitious agenda,” Pelosi said in a statement.
