Boebert Denies Ethics Complaint Over Staff Relationships and $200K Payment
On 21 September, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in Washington rejected an ethics complaint, calling the allegations of sexual affairs with three staff members and a $200,000 hush-money payment false and politically motivated. The complaint, sworn and filed with the House Ethics Committee on 17 September, alleged that Boebert had sexual relationships with three of her staff and had arranged a $200,000 payment to one staffer after threatening to file a complaint. Boebert and the staffer denied the claims, and the filing cited multiple possible violations of House ethics rules.
