During the interview, host Dana Bash questioned Ocasio-Cortez on her proposed course of action in the alleged Supreme Court corruption. The congresswoman responded by highlighting several avenues through which congressional oversight could be exercised.

Ocasio-Cortez pointed to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has begun the process of investigating potential entanglements and conflicts of interest within the Court. She specifically mentioned Justice Samuel Alito’s acceptance of gifts from billionaires who lobbied against student loan forgiveness just prior to a related ruling.
