US EditionAOC denies being married despite listing her fiancé as 'spouse' on disclosures
- Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is facing scrutiny for listing her partner, Roberts, as her "spouse" on travel disclosure forms, despite not being legally married. This raises questions about whether she intentionally misrepresented her relationship and could potentially face criminal prosecution if found guilty.
- Ocasio-Cortez's alleged misrepresentation on the disclosure forms is significant, given her reputation as an advocate for ethics in Congress. If she concealed her partner's finances from the public, she could face reprimand from the House Ethics Committee or even imprisonment. Additionally, earlier this year, she was accused of improperly accepting gifts at the Met Gala, further adding to the controversy surrounding her conduct.
- Despite the controversy, Ocasio-Cortez's relationship with Roberts has not gone unnoticed. The couple, who met as students at Boston University, recently got engaged and have attended various events together, including a trip to Venice, Italy, funded by Ocasio-Cortez herself. However, the question of financial disclosure remains, as Roberts would be required to disclose his financial records if deemed Ocasio-Cortez's legally recognized spouse.
