Ethics Complaint Accuses Boebert of Affairs With Three Staffers and a $200,000 Hush Payment
yahoo.com • • nation
Key Points:
- An ethics complaint has been filed against Rep. Lauren Boebert alleging sexual relations with three congressional staff members, citing a 2018 House rule prohibiting such relationships.
- The complaint details encounters in various locations and claims Boebert arranged a $200,000 payment to former District Director Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff to prevent an ethics complaint.
- Boebert and Ratzlaff deny the allegations, and the House Ethics Committee has not yet announced any investigation; some claims rely on unnamed sources and unverified financial figures.
- Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, an ally of Boebert, sarcastically challenged the allegations, referencing his own past ethics probe related to similar accusations.
- The complaint emerges amid broader congressional misconduct issues, including resignations of other lawmakers over sexual impropriety, and follows past controversial behavior by Boebert herself, for which she has apologized.
