AOC was a vocal critic of the Trump administration, and she played a crucial role in impeaching President Trump. Moreover, AOC was one of the first lawmakers to call for Trump’s impeachment, and she helped draft articles of impeachment against him.

As a result, AOC gets involved in some of the committee’s most high-profile investigations, including the investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia.

In February 2019, Alexandria delivered a heartfelt argument for campaign finance reform and ethics regulation, applied to President and congress members.
