UPDATED MAR 5, 2019

The chief of staff of New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reportedly been accused of funneling nearly $1 million in political contributions from a Political Action Committee (PAC) he controlled into his own firms, according to a watchdog group, which has filed a new Federal Elections Commission complaint.

The top aide, Saikat Chakrabarti — a Harvard-educated tech millionaire — reportedly set up the Brand New Congress PAC as a means to collect contributions to boost new members of Congress. PACs are required to disclose more details than what a firm would be required to reveal about how funds are spent.
