The OCE’s findings note that Maloney secured grants and federal funding that benefited the Met and pressed for the museum to remain in her district.
Current House gift guidance says that, in relation to charity events, members “may accept an unsolicited offer of free attendance for a charity fundraising event for you and a spouse or dependent child” but “emphasizes that solicitation of a gift is impermissible.” Tickets to the event cost around $30,000 and upwards of $200,000 for a table.In an interview with OCE, Maloney said that"she did not recall a year in which she was not invited to the Met Gala.

Kevin McCarthy promises to block these lawmakers from serving on committeesHouse Republicans recently voted 188-31 by secret ballot to nominate McCarthy for House speaker. McCarthy should lead without prejudice. If he cannot then he should not lead at all because he will be a bad example for all to see especially Americas youth. Hey u so called Christians 'vengeance is mine saith the LORD THY GOD' I guess the maga party missed Bible study that day! So, he has no ideas on policy. He is just interested in being a chaos demon. He will not be able to lead us through difficult times. Great. I feel like we have been down this road before.
