Lauren Boebert Denies Ethics Complaint Alleging Staff Relationships and Payment
U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert denies a sworn ethics complaint alleging sexual relationships with three congressional staffers and a $200,000 payment to prevent a complaint. The complaint, filed by David Wheeler of American Muckrakers, names Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Raven Finegan, and Jeffrey Small. Boebert and Navarro Ratzlaff have both denied the claims. The House Ethics Committee has not verified the allegations, and parts of the complaint are redacted, limiting independent confirmation.
