Rep. Alexandria OcasioCort­ez is in line for a seat on a House panel with the power to probe President Trump’s finances and rein in Wall Street influence in Washington, sources confirmed to the Daily News Friday.

The 29-year-old Bronxborn Democrat (left) said late last year she would seek a post on the financial services committee, which supervises banks, lenders, insurers and corporate campaign donations.

The sought-after committee is chaired by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who has praised Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow progressiv­e freshmen lawmakers and vowed to use the position to dive into Trump’s shady past.
