Two top members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's team are leaving the lawmaker's office.

Saikat Chakrabarti, 33, her Chief of Staff left on Friday, and Corbin Trent, Director of Communications, is due for a move too.

Chakrabarti will work for a nonprofit focused on raising awareness of climate change and trying to further the Green New Deal.

Meanwhile Trent has agreed to work throughout August before transitioning across to her 2020 reelection campaign, according to the Intercept.

This is the same role he held during her first congressional run in 2018.

There she will face-off against Republican Scherie Murray for her congressional seat.

Murray is a New York business woman who migrated to America from Jamaica as a child.

In a statement, Trent told the site that the AOC team were 'extraordinary grateful' for Chakrabarti's service and efforts to improve the lives of people in New York.

He added: 'Saikat’s goal has always been to do whatever he can to help the larger progressive movement, and we look forward to continuing working with him to do just that.'

Ocasio-Cortez confirmed Trent's move onto the campaign team in comments to the Intercept.

She added that he is 'shifting to our campaign side so we can work on some ambitious comms projects we’ve been looking forward to working on.'

Chakrabarti is a Harvard graduate who worked on the Bernie Sanders' 2016 bid to become the Democratic nominee.

He then went onto co-found Justice Democrats, a group trying to elect progressive candidates to congress including Ocasio-Cortez.

The new role will allow Chakrabarti to focus us on the Green New Deal, in a position with more power and less scrutiny, according to the Washington Examiner.

The former-Chief of Staff had come under fire, along with other progressive Democrats, earlier this summer over their use of Twitter.

This included a now-deleted tweet by Chakrabarti where he allegedly called the moderate Democrats the 'New Southern Democrats.'

'They certainly seem hell bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the 40s,' he tweeted, according to the Examiner.

The criticism was aimed at the party after they agreed to spend $4.5 billion on a border relief package, which included improving conditions in detention facilities.

The funding was agreed in separate bills by both the House, controlled by the Democrats, and the Senate, by the Republicans.

Chakrabarti later tweeted: 'Can we stop calling the Blue Dog Caucus "fiscally conservative but socially liberal?" I missed the part of fiscal conservativeness or social liberalness that includes wasting $4.5 billion of taxpayer money to put kids in concentration camps.'

The departures come after tensions between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (left) and the 'Squad' a progressive arm of the Democratic party, including Ocasio Cortez (right) has appeared to be dying down

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi critiqued members of the progressive arm of the Democratic party in an interview with The New York Times.

She called out four female Democrats known as the 'Squad' describing them as having a 'public whatever and their Twitter world' who she claimed have no following or power.

The 'Squad' consists of Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley - who also faced controversial comments from President Trump.

It would later be revealed that Pelosi also warned colleagues not to tweet about other members.

The statement particularly aimed at Ocasio-Cortez and her team, which could have referred to Chakrabarti's comments online.

The New York congresswoman later told the Washington Post that she thought Pelosi's words were 'outright disrespectful.'

AOC's office have since confirmed to the Examiner that Chakrabarti's departure was decided before and unrelated to the public clashes with House leadership.
