‘I’m Not a Lesbian!’ Lauren Boebert Denies Ethics Complaint Alleging She Had Sex With Staffers
Key Points:
- Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has denied allegations from a House Ethics Complaint accusing her of inappropriate sexual relationships with congressional staff, calling the claims false and stating she has never been involved with any staff members.
- The complaint, filed by journalist David B. Wheeler of American Muckrakers on September 17, alleges Boebert had sexual relations with three senior aides during government time and includes an unsubstantiated claim of a threesome involving former Rep. Matt Gaetz.
- Boebert's aides, including Clarice Navarro, have publicly rejected the allegations as defamatory, while Gaetz responded humorously, requesting any alleged video evidence be released immediately.
- Wheeler's history of making controversial claims about Boebert includes a 2022 accusation that she worked as a paid escort, which led to legal threats and a defamation lawsuit that was eventually settled confidentially.
- The House Ethics Committee has not confirmed whether it is investigating the complaint against Boebert.
