Rep. Lauren Boebert Responds to Claim She Had Sex With Male and Female Staffers Amid Ethics Complaint
The filing says Boebert supervised the employees and arranged a $200,000 payment to stop one staffer from going to ethics investigators.
- A sworn ethics complaint filed with the House Ethics Committee on Friday alleges Rep Lauren Boebert, R-CO, engaged in sexual relationships with three staff members under her direct supervision, violating House Rule XXIII.
- House Rule XXIII, clause 18 prohibits members from sexual relationships with employees under their supervision, a policy adopted in February 2018 following Capitol Hill harassment scandals that swept the chamber after the #MeToo movement.
- The complaint alleges Boebert arranged a $200,000 payment to Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, her former district director, to prevent an ethics filing; payroll analysis identifies roughly $31,000 in implied bonuses over four years.
- Ratzlaff vehemently denied the allegations, calling them 'entirely false' and 'defamatory,' while Jayson Boebert dismissed the claims as 'fairy tale made up propaganda' in a message Wheeler published.
- Signing an Epstein files discharge petition last year, Boebert demanded transparency regarding congressional settlements, stating she did not care 'what letter is next to anybody's name' regarding members' political affiliation.
