Ethics Complaint Alleges Rep. Boebert Had Relationships with Staffers, Denies Claims
A sworn ethics complaint filed by David Wheeler alleges that Rep. Lauren Boebert had sexual relationships with three congressional staffers—Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Raven Finegan, and Jeffrey Small—and that about $200,000 was paid to Navarro to prevent an ethics complaint. Boebert and Navarro have denied these claims, calling them politically motivated. The House Ethics Committee has not verified the allegations. The complaint cites House rules prohibiting members from engaging in relationships with their staff, but some details remain redacted and unconfirmed.
