Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested Congress open an investigation into the dismissal of charges against former first daughter Ivanka Trump on Wednesday.

Ocasio-Cortez claimed that felony charges against Ivanka Trump were dropped after her father's personal attorney paid $50,000 to the local district attorney.

"We are here today because Donald Trump is exerting an influence campaign," the congresswoman said. "If we want to talk about charges that have been dismissed, and if we do want to follow the evidence, perhaps we should discuss Ivanka Trump's investigation being charged — who was close to being charged — with felony fraud after Donald Trump's personal attorney provided political contributions to the local DA."

Criminal federal fraud charges were almost brought against Ivanka Trump in 2012, after learning that she and her brother Donald Trump Jr. had allegedly intentionally misled investors and buyers about the value of the Trump SoHo hotel. But the case was dropped after former President Donald Trump's personal defense lawyer Marc Kasowitz allegedly donated to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.'s reelection campaign in 2012, according to a 2017 report by Business Insider.

AOC claimed that Ivanka Trump's dismissal from the criminal case should be investigated due to the alleged evidence that Vance could have been paid off. But defense lawyers at the time claimed that Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.'s actions did not constitute criminal behavior.

"If this committee is gonna go there, [we should] be willing to open investigations into the dismissal of charges against Ivanka Trump," Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC's allegations occurred during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee that included testimony from two Internal Revenue Service whistleblowers.
