Summary

Ocasio-Cortez Accused Of Dark Money in NEW FEC Complaint. In what may be her fifth ethics complaint it is being alleged that AOC's chief of staff was running a "shadowy web" of PACs to subsidize a company providing below market services to Ocasio Cortez and others.This essentially acted as in-kind donations to political campaigns and violated federal regulations according to the complaint.Ocasio-Cortez and her staff claim to be fighting dark money but this being not even the first complaint alleging wrongdoing makes it all very interesting. When you consider that AOC was in control of one of the PACs, Justice Democrats, it makes it all seem that much more suspicious.The complaint notes that Cenk Uyger of the Young Turks was previously in control of Justice Democrats.
