Many want in on the Met Gala, and Rep. Carolyn Maloney is no exception.
As disclosed in the report that was released this week, Maloney called Emily Rafferty, a former president of The Met, after being taken off the list. In an e-mail to The Met’s director and a trustee, Rafferty reportedly shard that displeasure and noted how Maloney and reminded them “how much she does for The Met.”
House members are allowed to attend charitable events for free as long as the event’s primary purpose is to raise funds for an organization that is qualified to receive tax-deductible contributions, and if the organization, and not another source such as a corporate sponsor — extends the invitation, according to the U.S. House’s Committee on Ethics’ gift guidance guidelines. Maloney and her lawyers have denied that she did anything improper.
