The House Ethics Committee is investigating whether Rep. Carolyn Maloney — who is currently chair of the House Oversight Committee — improperly solicited invitations to the Met Gala, a newly released report reveals.
Maloney, who is leaving Congress in January afterAccording to the report, Maloney made a call to an unidentified former Metropolitan Museum of Art president in 2016 to request an invitation to that year's Met Gala after she had been left off an invitation list. It also cites evidence that suggests she may have requested an invite in 2020.
In an interview with the OCE, Maloney said that "from 2015 to present, she did not recall a year in which she was not invited to the Met Gala," according to the report, but the Met turned over a document that showed her name crossed off the 2016 list of invited political figures.
