AOC's Campaign Accused of Misusing Funds for Therapy

It's March 31st. Welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm

Corey with the story. A watchdog group just filed a complaint against

representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her campaign of misusing nearly 19,000 dollars

on what they call personal psychiatric therapy. They say the money went to a Boston psychiatrist

for services listed as leadership training and consulting, but it doesn't add up as

legit campaign. Spending. The filings show four payments totaling $18,725 to Dr.

Brian Boyle, a Harvard trained expert running a mental health clinic. The National

Legal and Policy Center sent this to the Federal Election Commission and the

Office of Congressional Conduct, demanding a full probe into her campaign and its

treasurer. Folks are buzzing because federal rules strictly ban using campaign

cash for personal stuff, and Dr. Boyle specializes in alternative treatments like

ketamine therapy for depression and PTSD treatments that are gaining traction, but still

spark debate. Critics argue he has zero track record and political consulting, so this

smells like therapy disguised as work. Now regulators have to check if the expenses

were properly reported, with possible fines, repayments, or even criminal charges on

the table. The group wants the House Ethics Committee looped in for deeper

scrutiny and any needed discipline. This saga highlights the tight line between

campaign funds and personal care, especially as mental health talks heat up in

politics, stay tuned as Investigations Unfold.
