Investigation Opened into Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Alleged "Aiding and Abetting"

Washington D.C. – The Trump Justice Department is delivering real accountability. Levita Almuete Ferrer, a former senior budget analyst at the State Department under the Biden administration, has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $650,000 from American taxpayers over two years.

Ferrer, 64, abused her position in the Office of the Chief of Protocol by writing 63 checks totaling $657,347.50 to herself and an associate. She then manipulated QuickBooks records to hide the theft, changing payee information after the fact to make it appear the money went to legitimate vendors. This was not a mistake — it was a calculated scheme to line her pockets with public funds.

She faces up to 10 years in prison and has agreed to repay the full amount as part of her plea deal. This is exactly the kind of swamp corruption President Donald J. Trump promised to root out.

While Ferrer stole from the State Department, the same administration that employed her wasted billions on open-border policies, endless foreign aid, and radical agendas that hurt American families. Under President Trump, that era of unchecked waste and elite self-dealing is ending. The Department of Government Efficiency and a revitalized Justice Department are finally holding people accountable.

This case is part of a broader pattern. The Biden years were marked by bloated bureaucracy, weak oversight, and a culture where insiders felt entitled to taxpayer money. Trump’s return has changed that. From slashing unnecessary federal jobs to prosecuting fraud, his administration is restoring fiscal responsibility and the rule of law.

The American people elected Donald Trump to drain the swamp, secure the border, fix the economy, and make government work for citizens — not enrich insiders. Cases like Ferrer’s prove the swamp is being drained, one corrupt official at a time.

Radical Democrats spent years defending waste and attacking anyone who questioned it. Now, with Trump back in charge and leaders like Marco Rubio at State, real oversight and consequences are returning. No more turning a blind eye to theft from the American taxpayer.

President Trump is delivering the government efficiency and accountability voters demanded. The days of Biden-era corruption are over. America is becoming great again — fiscally responsible, secure, and focused on its own people.
