AOC broke law by spending $19k in campaign cash on ketamine-therapy shrink for ‘personal use’: complaint
NY Post ^ | 3/28/26 | Rich Calder, Gabrielle Fahmy

Far-left “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) violated federal election and House ethics rules by misusing nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy, a bombshell new complaint claims.

DC-based National Legal and Policy Center filed a joint complaint Friday with the Federal Elections Commission and the Office of Congressional Conduct, demanding both enforcement agencies probe Ocasio-Cortez, her congressional campaign committee and its treasurer, Frank Llewellyn.

The government watchdog group want authorities to determine whether the money paid to Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle was fraudulently documented in official filings as “leadership training and consulting.”

The complaint was filed in response to an exclusive Post story last week that revealed the suspicious shrink spending.

“There is reason to believe that AOC’s use of campaign funds to pay for a psychiatrist who has no experience in ‘leadership training’ was not for a ‘bona fide campaign or political purpose,’ but rather for personal psychiatric therapy for AOC or her campaign staff,” the group’s counsel Paul Kamenar, wrote in the complaint.

Using congressional campaign funds for personal use is prohibited by law, and violators face fines and up to five years in prison. They could also be forced to reimburse their campaign fund out of pocket for any misspent money.

The NLPC requested the commission “impose appropriate penalties and disciplinary sanctions against AOC.”

The group also asked the Office of Congressional Conduct, or OCC, to refer the matter to the House Ethics Committee, which unlike the OCC, can issue subpoenas to witnesses and impose disciplinary action against the socialist lawmaker.

AOC has previously talked about her own mental health, claiming she was in therapy following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, when she said lawmakers effectively “served in war.”

So all the people in Congress and on discussion sites who said “You’re nuts, AOC” and suggested a shrink can be used in court to boost her side. She was influenced by them like the kids who used the META and Google systems and now nothing is really AOC’s fault.

There used to be a law (probably still is) that an employer cannot interfere with the treatment or 12 step groups and so on that are part of a recovery process. At work a guy with online gambling addiction at his job was allowed to pursue recovery and couldn’t be fired during that time. Heard of drug cases like that.
I think she’s gonna cry again.

No Ketamine clinic administers that much K to one person even over a decade of regular visits. There's a LOT more to this story.

Libs are special.
Liberals try to get away with their crimes.

I saw this picture of a female police officer who was talking to a violator. She says “Just because you have a Democrat in your car, doesn’t mean that you can park in a Handicap spot”.

Let’s call it what it really is! Sandy Cortez getting high and partying with her staff! She is fully aware she is untouchable, maybe immortal!

If she didn’t go through her gold-standard insurance coverage for the treatments, and used campaign funds to protect her privacy, I’d say she created an even bigger problem for herself in the end. Now everybody knows she’s not only nuts, but that she committed campaign fund fraud.

Too many men out there that want to bang her. It can get quite depressing. Am I right?

Right. AOC’s mental illness and drug use makes her a national security risk. This disqualifies her from public office. Think Tom Eagleton. I had the best 1972 campaign souvenir, a bumper sticker, VOLT for !!Eagleton!! with lightening bolts.
