New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday denied violating campaign finance law after a conservative government watchdog filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing the Democratic lawmaker and her chief of staff of being part of an "off-the-books operation" to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on candidates last year.

Fox News reports the complaint made by the  National Legal and Policy Center, accuses AOC and her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti of funneling nearly $1 million from political action committees Chakrabarti set up to private companies that he also controlled.

One of the PACs, called Justice Democrats said the payments were all perfectly legal, but critics said the arrangement appears unusual and should be investigated.
