Colorado's attention-grabbing MAGAt Rep. Lauren "Bobo" Boebert is the subject of an ethics complaint alleging that she engaged in three sexual relationships with staffers, and paid one of the staffers $200,000 in hush money. From American Muckrakers:
"A sworn ethics complaint filed yesterday with the U.S. House Committee on Ethics alleges that Rep. Lauren Boebert engaged in sexual relationships with three House employees under her direct supervision, in violation of the House rule adopted after the #MeToo reckoning that flatly prohibits Members from sleeping with their own staff.
The complaint, filed by David B. Wheeler of American Muckrakers and supported by exhibits drawn from House payroll records, Federal Election Commission filings, court records, and on-the-record sources, names three current and former senior aides:
Clarice Navarro, Boebert’s District Director from January 2021 to January 2025
Raven Finegan, Boebert’s current District Chief of Staff
Jeffrey Small, Boebert’s Chief of Staff from 2021 to 2025
The centerpiece is the alleged relationship with Ms. Navarro, a former Colorado state representative and Trump USDA appointee who ran Boebert’s district operation for four years."
There're more gory details at the link, all very well documented. A scandal of this type is not new to Boebert, who was videoed in a Colorado theater in 2023 vaping and fondling her date, and was subsequently asked to leave.
