Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is now one of the top two Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
Selected on Jan. 30 to serve as the panel’s new vice ranking member, she will be second in power to Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) among the Democrat members.
Sharing the news on Jan. 30 with her Twitter followers, Ocasio-Cortez wrote: “Excited and humbled to share that this evening I was selected to serve as @RepRaskin’s #2 on the House Oversight Committee. Thank you to my colleagues on @OversightDems for entrusting me with this responsibility. I’m thrilled to get to work with our incredible Oversight team!”
The congresswoman served on the committee in the last Congress under Democrat leadership, as well as the House Committee on Financial Services and the Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth.
In December, the House Ethics Committee announced that Ocasio-Cortez was under investigation for ethics violations, but did not specify what those alleged violations were.
Meanwhile, Raskin formerly led the Oversight Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. He also served as the lead House impeachment manager during the second impeachment trial of President Donald Trump and was a member of the Jan. 6 Committee.
In December, the congressman was elected ranking member of the Oversight Committee by his fellow party members in a closed-door election against Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.).
“I look forward to championing our Democratic priorities on the House’s lead investigative committee and drawing on the remarkable talents and voices of our Democratic Members,” Raskin said in s Dec. 22 statement.
However, speaking Monday at a National Press Club Headliners Newsmaker event, Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky said he planned to steer the panel’s investigative efforts in a new direction that Democrats are unlikely to agree with—the Biden family’s alleged “influence peddling.”
“The family has taken millions of dollars from adversaries mainly in China,” Comer said. “I think we need to determine what the money was for and who supplied it.”
Noting that members of President Joe Biden’s family have cumulatively received at least 150 suspicious activity reports relating to their financial transactions, he added: “When you see the country [China] has donated so much money to the Biden family, shouldn’t someone look into that to make sure that everything’s in order? That’s what we are doing.”
Other matters Comer has pledged to investigate include the unsecured classified documents discovered in the president’s possession, the origins of COVID-19, pandemic relief spending, and the crisis at the southern border.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, is in trouble now. What a huge mistake, I can’t see Accountability and AOC mixing together.
To misunderstanding oxymoronic AOC,,,Oversight = Overlook,,,, especially if has to do with a Biden Crime member being caught with political pants down, She indeed will be of the highest rank,,,when rank is used as an adjective,,,,nasty, stale, rancid, odoriferous.
OAC on ANY oversight committee is the Democrat definition of CYA SHe has the remarkable talent and voice of a Crime family stool pidgeon and when this birdie birdie gets in the sky, WE THE PEOPLE just her whitewash dropped in our eyes. No transparency moments of truth coming out of the mouth of this birdbrain.
All i can say, is WHAT NUMBNUTZ. nominated her!!??
The only oversight here is that this dim bulb is even in congress

Hunter Biden has been caught red handed, Joe Biden has been getting 10% of Hunters information and influence peddling.
Joe Biden and family are as corrupt and dishonest as the Bill and Hillary Clinton foundation is. Yet NOTHING is ever done about their crimes and illegal schemes.
The swamp creatures are many and have been there for over two decades. All the inbreeding has created a creature with the like of the movie called something like “The Creature from the Black Lagoon” so they have covered for each other for over 20 years. Hard to remove them; cut one off – two reproduce. If you look, you will note that many in high positions are related to each other in one way or the other.
Right now, EVERYONE in the biden crime cabal, could flat out snort coke LIVE ON TV, and get away with it.
Whatever aoc finds, it will be Trump’s fault.
The only thing she should be number two on is “Dog catcher”.
AOC is a joke. And a colossal waste of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon.
Along with food and water.
