A House Democrat is reportedly in a sexual relationship with a liberal YouTuber at the same time her committee is investigating one of his projects.
Sources Say News’ Juliegrace Brufke, a veteran Capitol Hill reporter previously employed by Axios and The Daily Beast, reported on Thursday that 34-year-old Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) has been seeing 24-year-old Jack Cocchiarella while the House Oversight Committee is looking into Chorus’s influencer program.
The Chorus Creator Incubator Program is a leftist nonprofit initiative that pays online influencers like Cocchiarella up to $8,000 per month to spread Democratic propaganda.
Cocchiarella sits on the creative council of Chorus and is listed as a co-founder.
According to Brufke, Ansari and Cocchiarella have been together on several occasions, including at the young leftist’s 24th birthday party last Friday.
More from Brufke:
Ansari was at Cocchiarella’s residence for his 24th birthday party on Friday, according to sources in attendance, with one source describing them as having a flirtatious dynamic with the congresswoman and helping set up ahead of the gathering kicking off.
It was not a one-off, according to other sources.
The pair appeared affectionate at the MS NOW party during White House Correspondents’ Dinner weekend, according to screenshots of text messages from multiple confirmed MS NOW party attendees describing what they had witnessed. Two others confirmed they saw the pair together at the party. One source said Cocchiarella confirmed to them directly that he was involved with “a Democratic congresswoman.”
Both Ansari and Cocchiarella turned up at a MoveOn “Won’t Back Down” event in Phoenix in August. Cocchiarella has also had Ansari on his YouTube show as recently as July.
In some cases, the personal relationships of public officials are no one’s business. But when a member of Congress is DATING a person whose program is under investigation by the legislative body, this should be national news.
Sources have also told Brufke that Ansari has flip-flopped her views on Israel, and they accused Cocchiarella of posting antisemitic material on social media.
If Ansari is truly dating Cocciarrella, as Brufke reports, she should be wary of him, given his controversial personal history.
Sources Say News reported:
As a student at Dartmouth College, he faced allegations of sexual misconduct, NH Journal reported in 2022. The outlet said Dartmouth disciplined him over at least one allegation of abusive behavior, citing a letter warning he could be suspended under the school’s gender-based misconduct policy, and reported he was removed from the Dartmouth College Democrats.
The Columbia Spectator, writing in 2023, reported he had faced multiple sexual-assault allegations at Dartmouth.
He later sued a former classmate who accused him online of rape, which was ultimately settled. He has denied any wrongdoing. His lawyer told NH Journal he had never been accused of sexual assault and had never been the subject of a criminal or Title IX investigation. Cocchiarella has said he was never investigated by Dartmouth’s Title IX office.
Dartmouth later said in emails that he was never investigated and left in good academic standing, according to a 2023 profile.
