In a shocking turn of events, after a major shakeup was just announced with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional office, new details have emerged.
AOC’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, is apparently the subject of a federal probe for campaign finance violations.
The inquiry centers on two political action committees founded by Saikat Chakrabarti, the top aide who quit along with Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent, the sources said. Trent left to join the congresswoman’s 2020 re-election campaign.
The brash Chakrabarti, who masterminded Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign and steered her proposed Green New Deal, had caused uproar in the halls of Congress with a series of combative tweets that contributed to a rift between his rookie boss and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Is in unclear how or if this will directly affect Cortez, the unofficial leader of ‘The Squad’, or as President Trump labeled it, ‘AOC+3’.

AOC recently spoke out on the El Paso, Texas shooting to politicize it, before all the bodies had even been recovered from the scene. This person seems to be a center of gravity for controversy, but she doesn’t seem to mind as long as it keeps her in the news. It’s yet to be seen if her constituents will want to keep her for another term though.
