AOC-Linked PAC Questioned on Contributions

A political action committee linked to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y) is being questioned on potentially impermissible contributions that it made to a number of Democratic committees last year, according to a letter from the Federal Election Commission.

The FEC sent a request for additional information to the Justice Democrats PAC, a far-left group that helped elect Ocasio-Cortez to Congress, on May 30 after conducting its preliminary review of the PAC's amended July quarterly report from 2018. Ocasio-Cortez was listed as a governor of the group until recently.

The FEC states that the amended report from Justice Democrats disclosed one or more contributions to federal candidates for the "retirement of debts incurred during the 2018 Primary election campaign" and that the committees that received the payments themselves had "insufficient debts to warrant such a contribution" from the PAC.
